Here are the bars...



....with a close-up of the stamps....



....and the welding.



I like the size and shape of them, just wish they were cr-mo!  ;D

Mikku:
Time for an update. First off, I’ve been collecting a few parts from here and there, so thanks to Vos, Terry, JT and animal for the seat, padset, brake pads and chain tensioners respectively.

As you can see from the following photos, I now also have a choice of rear brake set, namely a silver set ('83 DC890 + Tech 3) and a red set ('83 MX1000 + Tech 3). I want to have a bit of red in this build so am leaning towards the red set but what do people think?





As some of you may have already read, I’ve also been having bar issues:- http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,172153.0.html

I’m therefore on the look-out for replacements but am deliberating what to go for. Lasers are out of my price range and I’ve already missed out on 2 sets of Tioga race bars. I've got a few more coals in fires but what do people think about these Powerlite Pros?


I know they’re not factory correct (and these ones are not even era-correct, being '89 at the earliest) but as I already have some US parts going on here (Z rims and GT hubs), I’m not adverse to some non-Japanese parts plus I think they might go well with the survivor racer-look I’m aiming for.

As always, any advice or suggestions would be greatly received. Thanks in advance!
