Hey guys, I am looking for some opinions, and advise, here really on what bars you would look to buy for a 1984 Freestyle bike.
The frame and fork is chrome so I would also like to have chrome bars and a max price tag of around £120.
What do you consider to be good bars for a freestyler, and in keeping with era correctness ???
Thanks :daumenhoch:

I've always liked Skyway EZII bars. :coolsmiley:

vector copies

CW pro bars was my weapon of choice back when i actually rode them.......

I like them too Dan, but I am not paying Biaggio's price them "nono"

;D When I got my brand new Super Tuff Burner, the bars cane straight off for CW Pro bars. I was pi$$ed though, as the front cable wouldn't reach the lever so had to buy a new DC rear and cut it :D

Those big ass GT ones 10/11" rise, huuuuuge loveliness
-
get a set of performer bars well within your budget
or you could go with the JDB hutch ladder bars in chrome lurvlee :4_17_5:

Depends what the bike is Terry?
I like CW Freestyle Bars

Always preferred the look of GT Freestyle bars. Simple, chunky and look good chrome or painted.

how much does Baggio want for chrome MKII EZ's? £100 ??? i'd say that's not far off what a NOS chrome set should be really :-\

To be honest Terry, in 1984 most of us were still using good quality race bars I'd argue. The exotic stuff hadn't really hit our shores for freestylers and for this reson I would always turn to my favourite bar of all time, good old GT Pro's :smitten:
It's your ride of course mate, but all these crazy multi-tube, welded bits and pieces all over the place freestlye bars will always look cluttered IMHO, even Skyway EZ's and ladder bars. A good, clean set of chrome straight bars always look right I think :coolsmiley:

Did you sell your SR pro bars Terry ? If not use them, lovely big bars (clean & simple) I have a set (NFS) & they were what i used back in the day before buying in to some CW's like most other people...

pro size . 28 s with higher rise as possible / not shitty cw style though. only !

I hear you Spen. I do love the Pro bars. The Kuwahara bars are also on par with those. I am just looking for peoples ideas and input on what bars I could/should be rolling with bro :daumenhoch:

Maybe just me but, I wouldn't pay £110 for EZ II bars, including postage, not when I can get GT Pro bars for less. I only paid $150 for my 1st gen Hutch Pro bars. They are not NOS but they are in superb condition.
-
I think you've got a job to beat Hutch pro bars, they are my favourites, what about a set of hutch pro ladder bars ?
-
1st gen CW freestyle bars, great to ride and good to look at.

Dyno Pretzel bars were great but maybe later 80s
