The Girlfriend has Dove bars on her San Marcos. She likes the narrow width better than the albas on the converted MB-3.

You might have to mount the shifters in some other location. -Dave On Thursday, September 29, 2016 at 5:39:24 PM UTC-4, Eric Karnes wrote: > > Hi all- > > > I wanted to know if anyone here had any experiences with Nitto Dove bars? > If so, I’d be interested in your thoughts.
