I love British

made bars only prob is we as a collective have no way of nailing who made them. Would always rather have them on my builds tho

These are 28 inches wide by 9 inch rise, beautiful braizing and very close 2 being the same as Rickman factory issue race bars in the collection pic , but not quite bends are on a different mandrel and rake etc is slightly diff aswell. Will obviously need a repair at the clamp area

Line up of a few bars I have 4 comparison

Top are off Frosty and are slightly higher rise (no idea)
2nd these new bars (no idea)
3rd Rickman Factory issue Pro bars
Btm MRD Expert Bars (cut down

)

any ideas or comments always welcome

stuck em on me Badlander 4 a better look

You sure they're not MRD Pro bars Steve as they're very squarish , phil has a set or two, he'd know for sure if he matched them up for size and angles.

Think I gonna pop and mount them up and take a few more pics

watch this space

The more i look the more i think i'm correct.

The angles look the same as do the bends only on a slightly larger scale due to being Pro size.

I'll come back in 5 mins for another look

olly you sure those are pro size?youve got to remember tim march was a fookin giant so needed giant components,why would he make dinky bars like yours look??he often used cw's too,surely pro bars must have been bigger like the ones animal posted??
