Looks good I think, what about some rickman or CW freestyle bars?

looks good

nice to see vectors not on a haro

I'd be tempted to sell em and buy something else Steve. They seem to fetch a fortune these days so you could have your pick of what you wanted with the cash. Never a fan of them tbh but its all down to personal preference

Vectors all the way for me, my favourite bars of all time

Hope you already have some or have very deep pockets Steve!

Some Vectors just sold on Ebay UK a few days ago

It's a while since I've seen that build Steve

looks good with the Vectors

but if you fancy a change

Also british and from around 84 ish ,,what about

t45 Curtis freestyle bars

does the trick for me

but like has been said,with them fetching strong money,it would provide good funds to use elswhere

Not keen on the Red Skyways

You'd be better off selling them to me

Vectors look cool

ORB · « **Reply #8 on:** February 05, 2012, 12:28 PM »

Not for me.

Go with some DP Ladder Bars or Haro Kneesavers.

And a Tuff Neck Freestyle stem.....

Vectors look cool as feck IMO Steve

Plus if you decide to put them on, does that then free up the other bars (you know which

) ?

x2 fugly bars,would hate to see that gorgeous chrome badlander with those things on!i'd be tempted to put a set of vincent paul hudson bars on that!!

Here is Steves Badlander in its present incarnation with Redline forklifters which suit it really well i think

I reckon the Vectors will look great on the Chrome Badlander though

That black one does look good. I think it would look better if it had the drop down top tube freestyle version though. I must admit I'm not a fan of vector bars. They have always looked wrong to me. The first thing I took off my Haro and sold on. Kappys one looks good with action zones. But they are like rocking horse poo!

the freestyle forklifters are 85 though Stu!which Vincent Bars are the Action zones,are they the twin tube ones? :idiot2:Edit,sorry i just looked,they are not,but they are gorgeous bars!

No action zone wasn't anything to do with Vincent. There first bars were made by vdc but they weren't very strong. Only a few were made before production was taken elsewhere. There are a few of the vdc bars left. They look similar but have a wider crossbar.

bigfatolly · « **Reply #16 on:** February 05, 2012, 11:21 PM »

Yes would have loved a set of chrome forklifter freestyle bars but very pricy and hard to find

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #17 on:** February 06, 2012, 12:10 AM »

CW twin top bars

brettypeeps · « **Reply #18 on:** February 06, 2012, 09:48 AM »

I think they look right on an MRD

Discostu · « **Reply #19 on:** February 07, 2012, 03:23 PM »

Yeah redline forklifters are getting rare to find now. There was a white set for sale at mk11 for £50. Bargain!! They do come up every so often though at a reasonable price. (I would say reasonable being under £100) I would say that bars are the second most important thing on a build after the frame and forks. They are one of the few bits than can make a build look awesome. But can also make a good frame and forks look average. I would invest the money into buying a decent set. You will only wish you had when they are selling for big bucks in the future. I tend to look at photos on the museum and rad to get a feel for what looks right.

Personally I would go for the freestyle redline fork lifters. I have always liked them. My second favourite early 80's bars after the action zones.
