Title: ID these bars please
Post by: jp-rebel on October 17, 2007, 01:37 PM: Hi,Got these Bars of Ebay coz I like the shape,28" wide with a JMC sticker(Not original I think)the welding is neat and tidy and reminds me of vector at the bottom section where the stem goes and the cross brace is a squashed oval section like JMC bars.Not really bothered if their nothing special as I like them but if they are it would be nice to get the correct decal applied after I get them powdered.Cheers.
