Skyway race Bars...
« on: August 28, 2007, 06:02 PM »
I know Skyway Race bars go for silly money as they are rare in the extreme.

I'm building a T/A race bike and need a set of bars to go on it. Can anyone recommend a good set of bars that look similar to the Skyway ones, please? (similar height, ratio etc)

Thanks

Thanks mate.

Can you tell me how to contact him please? He was last active on here in December last year so PMing him might not be a good idea!  :LolLolLolLol:

Thanks

Get a set of Skyway E-Z Bars, chop out the two cross bars and get a new one welded in.  You then have Skyway Race Bars.

Johnny Chopper's stainless bars are the closest thing you'll get to the real toys and they're pukka quality too  :daumenhoch:

...................I know Johnny Chopper (Gary), he has no more stocks Skyway Repro's, I asked him a month back,

I got a pair for £40 about 6 months back on ebay, haven't seen a pair since. They are not for sale, only trade for some Torker Pro T Bars !

BTW Phamtom, that Skyway looks sweet mate !!
