Whoa tiger, those are 1982-85ish DB Expert bars. Also known as medium oversize DB bars they were stock on loads of mid to higher spec DBs back then.

Those don't look like Medium Oversize bars to me (might be just the angle though), either 'Small' or 'Medium' (I suspect small looking at the rise height), see here (I just haven't updated the measurement of the 'Small') - http://www.os-db.net/content.php?363-Handlebars-all

If they are 'Small', they were devevelopment for the DB Pro 'Mini' which was available from 1981 through early '83  :daumenhoch:

Sparky you are the font of DB knowledge and of course I accept I am often wrong mate!

The most important thing is they are stamped, original chrome, full chromo bars from BITD and therefore should not be chucked in the bin! To determine exactly what they are then the measuremets on the DB site will help tell you exactly what they are. Give them a little clean and ask the helpful folks on here for a guide price and get them soldnor traded as someone will be looking for a set of these bars I bet you.

Sorry Spen, hope I didn't come across like a right tw@t, as soon as I noticed a DB thread I started to bang the keyboard with excitement. :LolLolLolLol:

If they are small bars, I think I've only ever seen 4 sets in over 6 years so a nice find.  :daumenhoch:

Sparky, not taken in any way at all mate. I hat wanted to make sure they didn't get chucked in the bin as well!

Hope that someone needs them then  :4_17_5:
