Always liked Redline Forklifter bars but never owned any.
I know there's the race version with the straight bar and the freestyle version with the lowered bar ( which seem rare as fudge )
I would be putting these on a OS freestyle bike - found a copy of Action Bike July 95 with Ron Wilkerson riding a pair of the race bars on his Haro...
So I want to know :
a) are there different heights of the race bars
b) what do they go for £ wise
c) are the freestyle ones still about
d) has anyone ridden a pair ( like Ron :) ) for freestyle?
cheers Ed

He might have measured to the cross bar instead of the bar end height!! ???

Yes JT - no apologies needed man! I ummed and ahhrd and lost out - my bad. I was watching a chrome pair on US ebay but they went for too much when you added the shipping in as well.
I'll get a pair 'god willing' :angel: :laugh:

Just measured rise is def 8" i would guess 9" comes from measuring including the tube ! oh and 28" width.

Cheers dude - they are pretty tall if you want to run a rotor as well :-\ decisions decisions.

If you don't run a forklifter stem, you should be fine with a gyro - see my pics.
Think I've got a couple of them lying about too... (stems, not gyros! Although, come to think of it...)

some are stamped "R" on the ends of the lower bar for the stem... the early ones aren't :daumenhoch:
