How would I know what a real set of CW bars look like with all those copies out there?
-
welds and knurling I reckon ;)
-
What does the knurling look like.
I need a set but they need to be originals and not copies. I don't want to get suckered intobuying a copy pair for real pair money.
-
Knurling is of the diamond type .If that makes sense :-\
-
There's a few different types (I'm no expert like ! :D ) but I think the "moustach" ones have more of a curve at the stem area for better knee clearance :-\ but 99% have the cross hatch knurling all in one band and nice "overlap" quality welding also look for the bend before the grip area - some copies have a very shallow bend. Like I say I'm no expert on CW's (let's face it they never came on a goose :P :angel: ) but a few sets have passed through my hands and that's the info I've picked up :-\
Here's a pro size set I recently sold :)
overall dimensions 28" wide by 9 1/2" tall

Is it a chrome pair you are looking for :-\
-
It's a chrome pair I'm after. ;)
-
I've got a pro set but not chrome :-\
-
I'm building a bike to a specific spec so they have to be chrome unfortunately.
