i got three, they are nice but even bigger to have hanging around your house. be warned, they are well nice to have and make a decent rider too if you wanted to use them.

I raced a VDC Gorilla in the 80's , here at British Champs 1986 in front of Dale Holmes  :daumenhoch:


Just wish I had'nt sold it !  :'(

If you're looking at a OS cruiser build then as Paul ( Stuntmaster ) says , the 24 specific parts are harder to come by and can be expensive ( sometimes quite a bit more than 20" bits ! ) .

Yup got an advert for em somewhere, mine are on the GT below just not sure if genuine as knurling is horizontal as opposed to usual diamond knurling on CW's :)  Will keep eye out for them, quite like the redline pl24 cruiser bars too they are sweet  :coolsmiley:

Your less than favourite guy in Australia (JohnnyChopper) makes repro Kos Kruiser bars if you are desperate, I think they are branded as repro's too  :daumenhoch:

John, I can understand that, I think they would be OK for putting on a new school ride to give that old school look and feel but don't think I'd put them on an old school ride  :daumenhoch:
