Skyway EZ2 bars
«

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
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

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
I can measure mine later for you as i have a few pairs of both
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

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 !

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
