Renthal bars?

Anybody seen this size before?? I know Renthal never officially made Cruiser bars (had this confirmed by the founder of Renthal yesterday), but these appear original 80's based on the decal and general patina. Are they Mini bars? 24inches wide and around 7.5inch rise. I'm still thinking perfectly sized for a Cruiser...

Yeah that's true, I never thought of that. They were pretty cheap so I took a punt. Something a bit different anyway

My first thought was motorbike bars too... I think they'd be cool on a cruiser for sure!

I'd have thought way too small for cruiser?? You'd need another 4"!!!!

That MRD is lovely - plate is fab!
I'll see how they look when they arrive, but I was kind of after quite small bars for this build anyway. It's currently wearing a huge set of Pro bars which look crazy, which has kind of got me looking for some size reduction
(and you won't hear me saying that too often).

Haha.... indeed. Thanks man, she's alright. I did think about it just as the 'Wives and girlfriends' thread thinned out. Just had some prints made up of them actually - not sure where to hang em yet though!

Mine look wider across the brace area, see how wide the decal looks on your pic?? Maybe just the way the camera angle sits.... Renthal got back to me and said they thought they were Mini motocross bars. I 'm thinking about turning some bar extension inserts for the ends; will wait to see what they look like when they arrive first though.
