 Hi first post on Rad just looking for some vector pro bar info.I am building a vector mark 2 gen 3, I've seen some vector pro bars with a Alan key bolt, this as got me thinking are these fake, did the pro bars ever come with Alan key nut I thought it should be a hex nut.

Cant say with 100% certainty, all I can say that what i've owned, Bob Haro, Expert, and Pro have all had a regular nut mate.

Saying that the bars could have an after market bolt and wedge...

sweetg:
Thanks jaan I'll try and post a pic of them soon, the guy says it's the original bolt and wedge.

These are probably my favorite bars! Have you got the 8 inch rise ones or the crazy 11 inch ones? I picked up a set of 8 inch rise Pro bars a couple of weeks ago and they have the hexagonal nut.





You might be able to gain some more info from this period advert... maybe weigh yours and check measurements to confirm authenticity?



I will be looking forward to seeing some photo's of your Vector when it's finished  :daumenhoch:

I've just had a quick scan in the Vector bikes section on the Museum and can only see hex nuts on all of the examples there also.
