New Skyway EZ bars MK1

[Hiro Tonka]

Anyone bought a pair of these new reissues

Do you think they might be chrome under the black paint?

cheers.

Hey buddy. I know who did buy a set and they are definately NOT chrome underneath. They are better than the sh*te re-issues of the EZII bars but still sh*te in my mates opinion  

Hope that helps

WHats that on a sh!te scale of 1 to 10?

This is what the MkIIs are like under the paint:



So, not great..

LHB - what is wrong with the MkIIs?  I only have what I believe to be some chrome MkII re-issues (but could be wrong) and never seen originals up close.  Are MkI / MkII worlds apart?  You are not the only person I have heard saying this btw..

The welding is better than on the EZ II's along with the bar placement. Still look a bit shoddy though. I would rate them around 6 - 7/10

Is that cr-mo tubing welded to steel tubing there Paul? They seem to have learnt their lesson with just banging some bars together, like the EZII's, and took their time with the EZ bars. You can see that in the quality although, my mate hasn't stripped his, yet  

These are genuine EZII's Paul. Best pic I got, sorry buddy.

The MKI's aren't that bad at all

Hi Terry - sorry, I should have said: those stripped bars are not mine, rather, just some picture I came across once.  The below are my bars.  The welds look pretty bang-tidy to me so maybe mine are original..?

Id say they are original mate as iv just went and checked my original chrome ones and the welds are the same.

Gonna have to agree Paul, they look original to me too. Good welds on the bars you have there 

[Devilock]

Apologies for my ignorance but i didnt know the EZ I's had been reissued...!

Make sure you keep hold of them as im sure the new repops wont be as good and why do them in BLACK? LIke WTF 

Would be better in raw state than to buy black and strip them. They released these a good while ago now i think i started a thread. I was a bit miffed as id just painted some ez2's black and now folks will think there repops
