did all 3CLs leave the factory with adjustable bars?

I'm wondering specifically about the early ones with Ceriani forks, from 1976 to 1978.

I never saw any that didn't have the adjustable bars when new.

I think all UK - (maybe worldwide)1000cc models - pre RG series had "Snods" as we used to call them (Italian for them is "Manubrio Snodabile") - Regards - Phil

Only the very first batch of drumbrake 3C - 50 or so - were equipped with non-adjustable bars.

Thanks Marco - Those bars look like the 750SF type?? - Regards - Phil

Hi Phil,

I'm pretty sure they used the SF bars/clamps/dashboard/switches/instruments etc.
Different throttle BTW - it's a black Verlicchi unit in the pics, instead of the "twin" chromed Tommaselli Daytona used on the contemporary SF1.

Ciao

Heh! As in, "Snod" possible to adjust them to a useable position. First thing that goes in the recycle bin, for me.

LOL.  Well there is one position, all the rest look wrong IMHO.  They are rubbish.

Harry, money down the drain then.
Have you seen what they go for on fleabay?
I like them as there at least 2 useable positions without denting the tank or fouling the brake m/c clamp to the bars.
Plus they look cool.
Saying that I don't use them myself any more, damned war wounds.

The recycling bin is in the LimeCave.

You saying I'm a rich man?
