How would I know what a real set of CW bars look like with all those copies out there?

welds and knurling I reckon

What does the knurling look like.

I need a set but they need to be originals and not copies. I don't want to get suckered intobuying a copy pair for real pair money.

Knurling is of the diamond type .If that makes sense $:-\$

There's a few different types (I'm no expert like !

) but I think the "moustach" ones have more of a curve at the stem area for better knee clearance $:-\$ but 99% have the cross hatch knurling all in one band and nice "overlap" quality welding also look for the bend before the grip area - some copies have a very shallow bend. Like I say I'm no expert on CW's (let's face it they never came on a goose

) but a few sets have passed through my hands and that's the info I've picked up $:-\$

Here's a pro size set I recently sold

overall dimensions 28" wide by 9 1/2" tall

Is it a chrome pair you are looking for $:-\$

It's a chrome pair I'm after.

I've got a pro set but not chrome $:-\$

I'm building a bike to a specific spec so they have to be chrome unfortunately.
