Redline Forklifter bar knowledge please...
« on: November 01, 2009, 06:35 PM »
Always liked Redline Forklifter bars but never owned any.

I know there's the race version with the straight bar and the freestyle version with the lowered bar ( which seem rare as fudge )

I would be putting these on a OS freestyle bike - found a copy of Action Bike July 95 with Ron Wilkerson riding a pair of the race bars on his Haro...

So I want to know :

a) are there different heights of the race bars
b) what do they go for £ wise
c) are  the freestyle ones still about
d) has anyone ridden a pair ( like Ron  :) ) for freestyle?

cheers Ed

He might have measured to the cross bar instead of the bar end height!!  ???

Yes JT - no apologies needed man! I ummed and ahhrd and lost out - my bad. I was watching a chrome pair on US ebay but they went for too much when you added the shipping in as well.

I'll get a pair 'god willing'  :angel: :laugh:

If you don't run a forklifter stem, you should be fine with a gyro - see my pics.
Think I've got a couple of them lying about too... (stems, not gyros! Although, come to think of it...)
