I sold a set a few years ago £80

I think they are a type of stainless , I actually pm'ed Johnny Chopper Gary at the time just before he closed his website down .

As I wanted to know if they were strong enough for racing with rather than just show items .

The answer was yes by the way  :daumenhoch:

A set of proper / repop Skyway race bars went for about £80 odd on eBay the other day. I presume JC ones would be less.

I sold a set about a month ago for £60 posted. Got them in a bulk deal about a year ago but never really wanted them.

Post by: brummie on December 10, 2012, 07:06 PM
nice bars
were only available raw i believe and about a ton to have them to your door from oz so chrome would set you back 135 ish? new
i paid 80 for mine from chris
all hand made by gary ( jonny chopper ) from the finest materials and very nicely made
i have a few jc items and love all of them

i would much prefer these to the overseas made repop skyway race bars but each to our own

If you were going to put some non OG bars on a OG bike, why would you pay anything like £80+ Vocal do some very nice chromo bars 28x8 (or 8.5) in chrome for £30, pm me if you want some.
