Starting my first cafe racer

Hey Monster! Howd the power stripper work out for ya? Does it take off paint and powdercoat or just rust? Mabey some Cafe Racer clubmans?? CUSTOM CLUBMAN 7/8 HANDLEBARS TRIUMPH HONDA CAFE RACER | eBay
for rust i use steel wool WD40 and some elbow grease. i used the power stripper to get the stickers off. and for the gunk i used a sander...
I ordered some parts through Cycle us before and they have quick shipping, but then again I only live 40 miles from them. When theres a part that I need and it's in stock, ya hafta jump on it otherwise who knows when they'll get it back in stock......
I have clubmans on my 2 stroke Dyno Deuce and I love them but they are on a threadless fork and stem. The thing is I race and it's up a bit too high. If their upside down then Im leaning or reaching for the bars and it squeezes the grape fruits on the 20" banana seat that I purchased from Cycle us.
Check out these mini clubmans https://www.treatland.tv/clubman-handlebars-drop-bars-7-8ths-moped-p/moped-handlebars-m-bars.htm and there isnt a rise and maybe it'll work for you.
The 7/8 should work but you could always buy handlebar shims if needed.

Heres a pic during the build with the clubmans upside down and on top. The picture with the banana seat was the final set up of the build.
