MRD bars query ID bars Please New pic added Help !!
animal:
Looking for a bit of info. Got 2 sets of Mrd bars pro size, one set braized , one set tig, both identical other than the tig set are slightly angled down at the ends. But this may have been done due to heavy riding. Has anybody got any idea when they swapped over on the welding front from tig which I assume are the early bars ( from what I have been told) to being braized like the frames. Also does anybody know who made the early bars? Was rumoured they were Star Bars rebadged but we have disproved that one.
gossa:
Wasn't aware Tim had any welded bars, are you sure they're not Stars? Tim just took the Stars to Rickman and got them to copy the for his brazed MRD's. I'm seeing him tomorrow so i'll see what I can find out for you mate.
That's if he can remember of course!
gossa:
animal, tim's here now, he defo never made anything welded, everything was brazed by the rickman guys, sounds like you have stars mate. Piccy?
animal:
A piccy of said bars. Any ideas?
gossa:
mmm, i'd say NOT stars as stars had a wider bottom section (going further away from the stem before they went into the rise) and I reckon stars had a slightly lower rise than these. i'll get the big fella to take a look, i can't get him out of me shop at the mo, he must be bored.....
BTW Tim works just around the corner from my shop so he comes in for his tea's..........
