Title: How to tell original CW bars
Post by: kingkeef on June 07, 2008, 07:16 AM

Hi All
I was just wondering how you would tell original CW bars??
I have had a set from new so I know they are, however I swapped the sticker for a GT one because I thought GT were cool BITD.
Now I’m thinking of selling them and wondered if there was a way to prove they were authentic???

As far as im aware they are originals.  The copies have a gap between the knurling or sometimes lines instead of diamonds.
