Un-Stamped Redline V-Bars ?
« on: July 08, 2010, 10:27 AM »

Got these bars yesterday.

They look like redline bars to me - same shape, nice welds, lightweight, and two knurling bands, BUT.......

No Redline stamp ?  ???

Did redline make bars without the redline stamp ?

Incidently they came with a 1980 goose frame - now that doesn't mean a great deal as they could have been put with the frame at any point in time but then again they may have been a shop upgrade by the original owner back in 1980 just thought I'd mention it as a possible era pointer.

Anyways this is them............








Any thoughts ?  ???

just a thought... they could be Win Kusuki bars, some of which just had a "Redline Approved" decal on them?

That's not me sayin they ain't Redline Bars either though dude  :daumenhoch:

Right then so they are redline bars made by win/kusuki then ?

Like these :






Which are different to standard win branded V bars which have different knurling (all straight lines rather than stepped lines) and maybe slightly different geometry by the looks - like so........
