Hi all
Are tidy bars the same as Amal clean bars, if so I have just made a batch of the lower levers, and the upper levers are at the foundry for casting.as fitted to late Matchless silver hawk
I could not find any, and Jiri in the Czech Republic had nothing I could see similar

Read the description in the link I posted above. “Clean” bars have the cables hidden inside the bar. “Tidy“ bars have multiple levers on a single clamp.

The bars in the photos I’ve attached are listed as Amal clean bars in the Matchless parts book. Throttle is internal cable, advance can also be internal on the left, two levers on each pivot upper and lower lever.
brake, clutch advance and choke Dip and horn switch wires internal

True, tidy and clean can be combined. The clean bars I've seen don't really have separate clamps, the lever mount is typically integrated with the bar. Tidy levers are completely separate from the bar and have the clamp.
