Skyway EZ2 bars
« on: July 09, 2013, 02:46 PM »
Last year I bought some re-pop EZ1 bars & discovered that if you strip off the black paint that they are actually chrome underneath .

I was wondering if anyone had ever stripped an OG set of Skyway EZ2 Bars & if they were also chrome under the paint ????

These are the ones that arrived (do these look right ?)  never had the EZ 2's before & they look to have a really low rise ?

Those are MKII EZ Bars........but you got Mini's rather than normal sized ones  :daumenhoch:


same width just lower to use them with ACS/Spinmaster II rotors as they found that with the stem up higher the normal bars were just too high  :daumenhoch:

They will both work with a Spinmaster 1 as it doesn't go quite as high as a MKII but i would use normal sized with a spinmaster 1 if i were you

If you look at my Orange or Green one in Me and my bikes i have spinmaster 1's on both with normal sized bars  :daumenhoch:

I can measure mine later for you as i have a few pairs of both  :daumenhoch:  but i'm guessing the normal ones have about 8" rise from clamp to crossbar where as the mini's probably have about 6" but i can measure them tonight for ya  :daumenhoch:

Well these are of no use to me as i needed the full size bars .

So if anyone wants them you can have them for £35 delivered thats what they cost me & not a penny more ! :daumenhoch:

I think you may struggle to find someone who needs them, i've got two sets of them and they are nice little bars.  i hope to use a set on a mini next year  :daumenhoch:
