Lee,

Looking at the sunk allen head bolt based on the above would say yes are fake but hey my knowledge is limited to what Jay was kind enough to share so don't take it as gospel ;D

JAY:
Yeah its hard to tell from those photos , what i said about the angles ,escpecially when they are fitted, But as peter said , the stem shaft bolt is that of the copy bars , so pretty sure they are copies.

Real Vector bars tend to come with a Hex nut stem bolt not an allen bolt(unless replaced at some time)... the hex nut is also imperial size. The spread on the original bars is greater too ;)
 The way those bars on the Haro sit back is a give away... they are copies i think.
The guy selling the bars maybe doesn't know they are not genuine unless he badged them himself  ::)

JAY:
yeah real Bob Haro Replica Vector bars came a hex head bolt , However the same bars were renamed later , Identical bars but have the UNLIMITED Decal on them instead of the Bob Haro signiture and they came with a Allen bolt which is potts mod , but doesn't seat into the stem shaft like those copy bars , It just sits on top, as does the hex bolt on top of the shaft on the originals.

More confusion  ;D
