Post by: stidds on August 25, 2005, 07:29 PM: Look like Powerlites.

Wouldn't trust that seller though, he looks a bit dodgy ;)

Post by: ORANGEZIPPY on August 25, 2005, 07:37 PM: wow they were quick replies, :) thought i might have to wait a bit before re-doing the auction.

i thought they are , but i'm very very bad on anything after mid 80's, so good to check with everyone here.

yeap, bad seller alright, do you reckon i'll get a scammer try to rip me off for the £5 ? hope they stay away from the cranks and also radmans turbo this time.

thanks for the help.

;)

Post by: OrgasmDonor on August 26, 2005, 09:13 AM: they are 90's powerlites, heavier lookin than the early 80's ones and the rake is different and ultimately not as sought after.

Post by: jon016847 on August 26, 2005, 10:40 AM: Late 80's - early 90's powerlite bars, yellow p decal, knurling for the stem to grip better and a thicker cross bar than the early - mid 80's powerlites.

100% powerlite -

I don't belive they are freestye bars, I think they are race bars,

I have two sets of them purchsed NOS - not that sought after but quite a nice riding position ! - I had one set on my daily rider for a while and am considering putting them back on
