They look a bit twisted..
It looks like they have been made like this from the start..
Have emailed the seller who ask to return at my cost and will issue refund or replace.
Its going to cost me £20 to post back .
They only cost me £70 posted which is a good price for a set of NOS kneesavers..
What to do guys..
Post back or keep.. :chin:
And yes ebay.. ::)

Have googled this and some of the forklifter bars made had this twist prob a Friday afternoon job.. ::)
Got a black set of kneesavers and very slighty out but not as much as these..

I agree with this I had some slightly twisted ones BITD but as said, not that bad.
-
they're not the worst i've seen , :LolLolLolLol:
the haro one's were done like this to compensate for the 90-91 bashy frame n forks being a mile out too, you just had to get a set twisted the right way depending on how bad the forks were.................. :-X :LolLolLolLol:
-
:LolLolLolLol:
Well there are going onto a `89 bashy frame mind...
Would you keep them or send back to find the replacement to be the same and £20 down..

They were all like that. Slap them on and get over it!!

Planning on having a go bud .. :daumenhoch:

What about asking for a partial refund? :-\
-
I had a set of Peregrine Q bars BITD that were as bad as that. Had to set the stem up slightly off-centre to compensate. I guess they were pretty bad at setting up jigs back then.
-
I've the were all mainly like that I'd look for something different as I know that would play on my mind.
I get pissed off if my seat and bars/stem don't run in line with the hlcross bar. Then the stem also has to line up with the front wheel.
It would do my tree in if the bars were crocked to the front wheel

I have few pairs of rl forklifters, and one set isn't in line, but no way as deviant as that. I couldn't have the stem offset from the line of the front wheel.

did the listing state or show they were twisted as if not then not listed correct . if not sold correct then he should pay for them to be sent back .
Even if they are nos he should have pointed it out , if the bike is a rider it would ride terrible with twisted bars
Haro did have some kneesavers bars they came out twisted that and the top tube lines were out of pattern shape as well
-
I had a part refund in the end as the cost too return was the same of the part refund offered .
Because I bought it outside the Uk from Germany you have to pay for return plus he wasn't a business seller so again you have to pay bloody fleebay..
The bars are going onto a `89 haro bash which will be mint when I get my fat backside of the settee..
going to have a go at straightening them if there are that bad fitted.
Plus.. had a grrrreat price on them :slayer:
-
I had a pair of twisted forklifter freestyles once, I fooked them off as soon as I realised, wouldn't want to ride a bike with bars like that!

Arent Kneesavers supposed to have chevrons stamped into them? All these sets Ive had have been stamped.
