Title: Are Nitto bars any good?
Post by: sid1972 on February 25, 2012, 11:25 AM

Hi folks,

picked up a set of nitto bars on ebay for 99p - they are solid but need work cosmetically. No knarling round the stem area, stamped on the grip end and they are about 23 inches wide with an 8 inch raise.

Any help would be great,

just need to know if they are worth the effort etc.  ;)

Thanks,

Sid.  :daumenhoch:

I have a set on my Goose '82 team

they feel nice and give the right look - shorter in width than my laser bars

 ??? i think they are my laser bars on the floor - used my laser bars on the MT on the london ride - they felt dialed - the nittro bars i would say are good for a show bike and a roll around as i feel they are a bit too much backsweep - but they do look the part  ;)
