Title: Bar Rake
Post by: OrgasmDonor on September 15, 2005, 06:33 PM
Which old school bars had the least rake? Been lookin for some for awhile but all bend back further than i like, Robinson Pro's are not bad but which other bars where nice n straight?

sarcasm, wittisisms, and general bollox welcome of course but an alternative to the Robbo pro's would be nice.
cheers :)

Didn't you buy some of the Supercross bars ? If not they are cool, but obviously not old school.

 I like bars withonly a little rake & searched for a while. I bought some Sunn Brute bars which i know are new school but look like Redline forklifters & they only have about half to one inch rake.
 I think they are meant for flatland.
 Good luck in your search!!
