CW bars

I have some CWs here that are pro bars, 8" x 28"
Now these look small to me, they are pro bars. Did CW make XL pro bars? I've seen others that look really tall.
Any help would be great.
Cheers Steve

Steve,
Have a look here

Thought 28 x 8 was the pro size, not sure if they did any larger than that?

Ok, the set I have look like the standard bars but the measure up as the pro bars,
I always remember my old CWs being a bit narrower at the bottom and not much of a flat part where the stem clamps on.

Radder than a Rad thing on a Rad day; maybe?

CW's also have diamond cut knurling, which is a great way to identify lookalikes and copies

That maybe a rough measurement of overall top to bottom, rather than centre to centre of the tubes

i've had about 5 or 6 sets of CW Pro's, they were all 9.5 Rise. (i reckon i must just measure from the absolute top to bottom ?)
I bought all mine from 4 cranks, and they said they were 9.5 also
, bit conflicting with the add?
They all seemed a bit too large, i use mediums now, seem to be more in preportion.
Think cw's are way underated, and look good on most bikes
