Title: Handlebar ID please
Post by: jimwise68 on June 12, 2006, 09:25 PM
Right, i've got these CW pro bars, but there is no CW sticker on there just a Pro Handlebar sticker with a man with a moustache.

Can any one shed any light on these.

thanks

Jim

They are known as moustache bars. I think they are later CW or Bandito (cannot remember which but I am sure someone will correct me!)

I can remember some bars called Moustache bars, but thought they were Primo. Hence the ID needed.

They came off my TA which had all real components and nothing fake so presume they are real and not copies.

Those are later (not sure when) CW pro bars. Bandito bars were made in the same place as CW's and I believe they were the same except for another 'brace' bar that was made from square tube.

Those are definitely CW bars, I have a set on my TA. My bars have the CW sticker, and the little guy with the moustache sticker too.
I will post a pic later on.

Shaun is correct, I have a set like that also, complete with man and moustache.

Moose is also correct about the Bandito bars, they were made by CW but with an extra square tube bar.  They Bandito logo was a man with a moustache, but the logo was very different than the one in the picture.
