Title: Are these Standard Strip Bars?
Post by: BrianP on January 03, 2007, 08:54 PM: Hi guys,

Got these for my STA. Were listed as "standard 4 piece strip bars", but I was kinda surprised to find they didn't have the lower ends of the bars capped off ???

Does anyone else have a set they could check?

Plus they've been cut down. Would love to know the original width so I can get these extended to their original size?

Thanks in advance,

Brian.

Post by: Lazarou on January 03, 2007, 09:22 PM: The oversize ones were the 6 piece strips, these do look like 4 piece Standard strip bars but i'm also unsure of the uncapped ends but the shape is definately the same.

Gun to my head i would say they are Standard bars. :)

Post by: rory on January 03, 2007, 09:30 PM: i dont think any strip bars had capped ends , but i could be wrong , s&m castillos are capped

Post by: darkersomeday on January 03, 2007, 10:15 PM: mine were un-capped ends,

theyre definitely standard strip bars, you can tell by the ben and sweep,

great bars though, nice natural feel,
Title: Re: Are these Standard Strip Bars?
Post by: BrianP on January 03, 2007, 10:20 PM: yeah, they've a real nice sweep on them, not too flat, not too... um... swept...?

If anyone can give me an overall width that'd be cool, cos these have been cut down way too much.
