Hello Andy,Life is strange & full of coincidences. I am having a massive clearout prior to moving/downsizing. I have come across a 1961 Motor Cycle news with an advert on the front page placed by Ariel motors extolling the wonders of the arrow/leader range including the sports Arrow. It appears to be fitted with "ACE" bars as was my own Sparrow that I passed my test on in 1968.In sorting through the tons of spares/junk? I have accumulated I came across a pair of "ACE" bars. These are drop bars that mimic clip ons but fit into the normal handlebar clamps. Are these what you are looking for? I did have a genuine workshop manual but I haven`t come across it so far. If I do I will let you know.Derek Fox.

Hi DellYou are ACE ho ho sorry for the pun cool As the man from delmonte said YES. Dell thanks for the quick reply this old girl has been sitting around to long I would be grateful for the bars 7/8in I think and if you find the manual etc. mp me and we can take it from there. Its a quirky little bike more like a steam engine at traffic lights it handles well through country lanes and fun in the dark with its 6 volt lights as for the brakes you get a clearer meaning of the word faith cool. Who knows next year at the IOM shore hotel I might be in disguise popping Eyes like an Alain to see in the dark and brake linings on my DM's boots to stop and a hacking cough because of all that smoking Very Happy.Ride SafeAndy

Hello Andy, For some reason this site has never let me open any picture files so I cant see it. Mine have a loop that mounts in the handle bar clamps with the handlebars, left & right welded to the loop in the dropped position.Looked for the manual but no sign of it. I probably sold it when I had a clearout a couple of years ago.All the best,Derek.

Magic, the picture has just appeared!! & no they are made of 3 pieces of tube welded together to give the "sporting" i.e. crippling riding stance.Derek.
