About to start the DP GL restoration, need bar help

[curtispro]

I am about to make a start on my DP Firebird GL restore and need some advice on the bars that were fitted on it when I picked it up, I have been told that they are "Bully Bars" but I don't think that they are era correct, should I spend money on a re powder or look for something else (there is no way I can stretch to DP Ladder bars)

Thanks in advance

Jon

GT pro performer bars are nice or Haro freestyler bars. Haro kneesavers look well on them as well. We could have a GL build of as I start mine this weekend as well

[curtispro]

That would be nice Brett but I have not sent my frame of to Dans yet, its got to be "un-chromed" as its shot and I have not got any bits for it either  I need to raise some serious funds yet, as I am starting this one from scratch 
Get some pics up of your build.

Maybe get some up in the next week.  Just waiting for a few bits to turn up and I have couple of parts to restore

Give dns-Paul a shout as he's got some haro freestyle bars that I was going to buy but I'm selling the haro now so no need for them

Judging by the replies the bars are not the ones to go on the DP then

that obvious then

Haha Brett, I am only just getting into this "era correctness"  Right then, I have a set of rickman freestyle bars freshly chromed, will they do ? And they are  just got to replace them with some race bars to go back on my Curtis pro.

Rickman Bars are Sweet

[curtispro]

I could always strip the Curtis and just keep the frame and forks built up, then use the bits on the DP, I think I would ride the DP more than the Curtis, now there's an idea, I would only need a new front brake and a set of freestyle tyres  what do you recon?

[brettypeeps]

half the fun is chasing the parts down

What colours you going for or is that clasified

[curtispro]

If I use what I've got then it will be white and wait for it


















Black

Did want to go White and Red though, no secrets here, you will have your built way before me 

[sid1972]

sounds like a plan - freestlye bars would look good on the dp and then make the pro more race.. 

pro class bars or CW'S rock on a curtis - unless you track some original curtis one down.

Will have these bars up for sale in a few days time but the aint going to be cheap 

[sid1972]

   OOOOOOO - loving that DP....

Have you stripped it?

[phantom photon]

Yeah, the frame and forks were stripped and sold on a few months ago now
