ive noticed not many builds on here have Vbars , is it because they were w4nk

gt0733 · « **Reply #1 on:** March 07, 2007, 12:50 AM »

the theory was the "v" flexed a little bit. so if the bars have very slight cracking on the finish in the middle of the "v" then the bars are doing what they were designed to do.

i have 3 redline builds at the moment, all have v-bars. i don't believe i'm a shuffle munsterer but others may digress

V Bars were cool and very popular in the early days, the only real drawback is that they have a lot of sweep on them and can be quite narrow. The Redline Proline V Bars were bigger with less sweep and were one of my favs. I have a build at the moment that has V bars going on it

redline v bars

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #16 on:** March 07, 2007, 10:51 PM »

I love's a v-bar but i think the main problem is that the majority of surviving ones are those Win bars and they seem to have a bit of a landar stigma about them. Snobbery, if you ask me. Anywhere where's my VDC freestyle bars they need a polish.

Are Redline Stu bars impossible to get hold of, do they show up on ebay etc?

I had a couple of pairs of Wassell V bars they were cool, but they work hardened and snapped in the end on the cross brace. They were well lite too if I remember , they went some way to lightening my Extra Burner.
