Long Reach Stem HELP , Tuffneck XL or ??

[B17SSY.T.A]

Need some help and advice please
Looking to find a similar set up to what I had BITD and ( memory not what it used to be lol ) back then I had a long reach Tuffneck stem , cant think if it was a Pro or XXL   just know after trying sooo many different stems this really worked , also BARS , GT Santa Ana's were the only ones I seemed to get on with , these were 29" wide and 10" rise I think ?  ... After doing some research ( new here ) it seems im going to need a second mortgage ( IF I can even find these things   ) to replace these , SO my question to you guys is , do you know of anything similar I could use ? im not building an era specific build ( 84 Skyway TA ) so open to all suggestions , Ive spotted a HARO Fusion stem for sale that looks like a nice reach in the pics , does anybody have or owned one of these to confirm reach / ride ? ... I hear the GT bars sometimes come up , but are there any other makes that do BIG pro bars ? .... Ive just checked some pics of my old Skyway and it looks like I had CW's before the GT's but cant recall them , god I must be getting old haha ......

All Help and advise on some BIG bar / stem combos is very much appreciated

Buy a set of JTSmooth's Kuwwie copy bars - 29" wide, 9.5" high, light as fook chromo and only a touch over twenty sheets a pop, maybe twenty-five

Fookin' bargain and feel great to ride - proper Pro sized

As for the stem, you're fooked as all the long reach stuff costs a bomb

Also be aware that there were different Haro Fusion stems. The one on my Group 1 racebike is similar length to the 'Group 1' stems on the original RS1/2/3 racebikes, not the longer Fusion stem.

DK did a long version of their stem didn't they?  i hope to have a Fusion freestyle stem on saturday so can bang up some piccies and measurements for you

Tuf Neck didnt do a long reach stem, or if they did I've never seen one!

Could it been one of thes Pro III's?

Thanks guys for all your comments ! much appreciated 


The Kuwwie Bars sound really good , and so does the Profile stem from Alans ! cheers for those 
Im not a 100% sure on the Fusion stem tbh its on the Bay - description says its from a 93 Master , comes with potts mod , no dimensions tho  , have seen some DK ones which looked pretty good and a nice blue one on BMX museum but the guy wont post here .. Also a LOVELY stem on a  Hutch ,  which had a massive reach , the guy told me it was a XL ESP stem ?? ...
Im sure the Tuff neck had a really long reach hmmmm , it wasnt that style in the pics so maybe ive got the name wrong , it looked like a slab lol ,
 but was longer , I can remember thinking it looked quite ugly compared with the nice shiney anno blue suntour id replaced , but felt sooooooo good on the bike with those GT bars ... maybe im wrong , maybe it was just like the pic  ....

cheers again

You then have a choice of length and colour...

I got a set of JTSmooth's Kuwwie copy bars recently. For the price you can't go wrong. My GT Santa Ana's cost me an arm and a leg and had to wait ages to find them.

I'd just get some new school bars if it's a rider, chrome slams, they won't get crimped or bend anywhere near as easy as old school bars, feel way better n all....

Yeah, that does look like one of the longer ones.   For riding performance you probably couldn't go wrong with one of those Profile stems...
