Your right there Glen. They belong to a mate who is looking to get rid and replace them with some proper Diamond Back Bars.

I have a pair of these on my TA as a place holder till I get something more 'period'.  They are nice bars, and with the OS GT logo look the part, but obviously too late for a TA.

Mine are stickered up with the OS decals.
