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

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.

do you know what year mk1 ez bars with the matching crossbars came out & what would you expect to pay for some nos chrome ones

pickle · « **Reply #3 on:** May 30, 2007, 03:11 PM »

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

right then, to add to the debate, i have a white set on my streetbeat, and i have a smaller set in grey, which are the same shape etc..

what are these then?

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 ?

pickle · « **Reply #6 on:** May 30, 2007, 03:19 PM »

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

Race me race i was crap at it in 82 smallest kid on the gate only didnt come last cus there was a crash on the last str8.

I just build them to hang on me wall now. a day at mk will probably kill me & thats just rolling around. so its just a peice of art to me now.

If I needed them I would pay that for them.

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.

FuNMoNsTeR · « **Reply #17 on:** May 31, 2007, 02:37 PM »

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.

pickle · « **Reply #18 on:** May 31, 2007, 02:39 PM »

go on give it a go.......they'll be Proper Bo!
