Title: Powerlite Powerbend Cruiser Bars...?
Post by: FuNMoNsTeR on January 28, 2008, 01:45 PM

Ok...i have had these bars a while now and actually got round to measuring them properly today..... They measure 27 inch spread across the top and are approx 8 inch total rise(centre of stem bar to top of bars)...
 5.75 inches from centre of stem bar to the centre of the cross bar.

Here is Powerlites bar range and sizes..... which do you reckon guys??  ???.

Are yours Cr-Mo or alloy ?

 I measured my cruiser bars last night...They're mounted,so a few of the figures may be off.....
 Chrome ones....They've been cut a little,but are 27.25" wide...approx  7" total rise(centre of stem bar to top of bars)...
 5.5" from centre of stem bar to the centre of the cross bar.
 Alloy ones...26" wide,uncut...approx  6.5" total rise(centre of stem bar to top of bars)...
4.5" from centre of stem bar to the centre of the cross bar (it's a thin cross bar too..)
 Hope that helps... ???
