Title: Looking for info on Shadow Racing a (CW offshoot company) .
Post by: Funkyworm on December 02, 2018, 07:59 PM

Just wondered if anybody knew anything about these bars or anything about Shadow Racing at all such as their product range ?

The bars below came on a bike that i purchased last week & all i can find is that these are Shadow racing bull bars & that Shadow racing was another company name or an offshoot company of CW & the bars were made by them.

Ive also seen a few pictures of  a 4 pc bar made by Shadow on the museum.

The ones below are 8 1/2" rise &  25 1/2" Wide with a (Power bend)

Anyway any info would be greatly appreciated Cheers  :daumenhoch:

I think you are right on the CW offshoot company thing,as I remember them being sold in Hotwheels in Bournemouth back in the day,they had sponsored riders as well.
They did frames and forks,I've never seen any since though which is surprising,have you had a look on museum?

Yeah i got the info about them being part of CW from there , there's bikes listed under Shadow Conspiracy & Shadow Project but they are both ( new school ) by the looks of things ..

Pistol Pete apparently rode a shadow according to this link below which ironically links back to Sidds who commented on the post showing a pic of the other 4 piece bull bars ! :daumenhoch:

Yeah they look sweet, but the chrome’s shot in places can’t decide whether to refurbish them or let them go ...
Great shaped bars though & a bit different from the norm  :daumenhoch:
