skyway bars ???????
« on: May 30, 2007, 02:55 PM »
Bit confused about the two types of skyway bars. i belive that EZ Bars are the older of the two but what year did they come out ? then the pro bars are the ones with the knurling on the crossbars what year did they come out ? I also know about the single crossbar race bars what year did they come out ? thanks lads for any info  :daumenhoch:

There are three sets of Bars.

MK1 EZ. Both Cross Bars are the same shape. Not as easy to get hold of as MK2s, but still quite a few about.

MK2 EZ these are the ones with the Knurling & the cross bars are different shape, Nice Bars & quite easy to get hold of.

Race Bars Single cross Bars, very rare & Expensive.

i think the MKI ones came out with the first Street Beats around 84.........you should expect to pay upwards of about £30 posted for a pair......although minty chrome ones are as rare as fook!!!  white or green ones will be the most common.

what do you want them for?

I may be wrong though  :daumenhoch:

Im building an 83 TA for mk to ride about on. my bmx interest ended in about 83 when i started work so dont even remember street beats only TA's. Ive been offered a nos chrome set for $90 dollars posted thats about  £44 from usa. I know a nice set of race bars would be proper but im not on beckhams wages. what do you think too dear or what ?

personally if it's for a TA and to race on....i wouldn't get the MKI bars as they have a tendency to bang your knees.......i'd go for some nice GT race bars or something?

But up to you mate  :daumenhoch:

The smaller EZ-Pro bars are just a mini version that have a lower rise to compensate for having a rotor

I have a set of what i think are fake EZ bars and it's not easy to tell them apart from the real thing.

I think EZ bars are just Skyway race bars with two curved crossbraces. They look the same size and profile to me.
 Buy a scabby pair of EZs... remove the curved bars and get a straight one welded in  ???  Would this work... has anyone tried it?  I fancied a set of Race Bars for my T/A and thought about giving this a go.
