Also got these bars with it...26" wide, 9" rise.
Pretty bad rust, any idea what they are??

Thanks Guys. ;)

Look like Torker :coolsmiley: and look cut down :'(
-
Nah, looking at those welds and what look like blow holes under the cross bar they look like bog standard chromed steel 80's bars - they were used on the likes of Ammaco and mongoose wire wheel and other budget models ;)
-
Im not rushing this cali build..
But i got these proper american decals today. ::)
Any one know the correct measurements for me to apply the decals??
Thanks..
