Do you have any pics of your moustache bar?

I would hang fire before you chop it, if it's the type that allows lots of ground clearance then they are worth a few £££

Ps I think that type of bar is a cross over, if you look at Mychas thread I think he has one

the bar is a late type bar with the early type ends that are on the moutashe style...im told its a rare beast only used for a few early 72 models ??...anyway if you have one you will not be able to fit the vs exhaust and j tubes as it blocks the flanges..
anyway ive had to chop out sections and reweld them lower so j tube flanges can clear it...

I am on the look out for one of these bars, and have a standard moustache bar if you are interested in swapping?

here are the different types, sounds like you have the top one.
