They have no end caps, the ends of the stem mount bar are rounded, but still open.
Very neatly welded, were chrome, then badly painted, by me ;D

I painted green stripes on that bar originally, then changed colours and for some reason i decided to paint that tube white.
Cant remember why!
There getting stripped, then the chrome stripped, along with my frame and forks, then its all ready for my new idea.
Youll all see pics when its done. Its going to be a bit special ;)

They look like bully bars from around 91.

Stands back and waits to be corrected. the only reference i have is my mind and like dayglow pink in the sun, its fading fast. :D
