Vert-ego had the kusuki ones in stock recently, they are not stamped though, only a sticker

Kusuki Redline bars do have the Redline stamp...

in both styles

Cheers R B How wide are the STR bars nobody seems to know, and how tall are they? Which way round are stamps on them, Redline nearside and STR offside? Found a set but over budget the guy actually said price reflects that he wants to keep them!

28x8"

I have an early V Bar set that has the oval stamp, but no STR stamping.

I've 2 sets of Pro size Redline V's , they are 28x8 (maybe 8 and a quarter )

. Redline Oval stamped , not STR . I think the STR were slightly later , Ron ? .

Matt, what is the rake like on those bars?

I'll get a pic to you Ron , on my way out now though

My STR type Redline bars...

I think Redline made the STR bars alongside the Proline bars. STR bars being an upgrade for your lower spec bike, my 83 600a came with Prolines, but at the same time Redline had the STR bars on the Carrera II, and the bars were available to buy from 82.

This thread should have a wallet damage disclaimer on it!

Stop whoring your wares, I'm getting jealous.

very interesting layout frosty

the STR,s & the SE look very similar in the sweep,although the SE has a higher cross bar & wider bottom to clamp

can also say the same for the GT & are the 2nd from bottom Profile?

i have used for racing the STR & the SE & i prefer the STR tbh

with the jolly stomper endorsing them ya cant go wrong

The STR bars with the straight cross bar remind me of S&M Slam Bars.

am i the only one here who thinks it's just wrong NOT to have a v-bar on their early redline

darkslider · « **Reply #488 on:** November 11, 2007, 12:39 AM »

No straight bars aren't right, but mine has a chainstay brace so why do I want to build an early Stu rep? Can we have a Proline register? I'm going to contact my local M.P. if we can't!

RATTY · « **Reply #489 on:** November 11, 2007, 12:44 AM »

I did start one last year but I only got a handfull of frame numbers $:-\$ It needs to be a sticky to work

darkslider · « **Reply #490 on:** November 11, 2007, 01:05 AM »

I can only give you my serial, will that help? How can we have so many pages on Prolines and not enough interest? Maybe its only the chosen few who know class when they see it! 502867 anyway none of those Japanese R prefixes here.

I will get my three listed at some point, just need to scrape the mud off my race bike
