Title: 1986 ELF 24" Cruiser.............
Post by: MINI_BURNER on September 27, 2008, 09:17 PM

Any ideas what sort of bars the above would have had originally fitted?  The bars fitted to mine look a little too low and modern to be original fitment:

Cheers for that mate :daumenhoch:  Do you have any pics of what they look like? 

Can anyone suggest a decent set of bars that would be suitable, ideally with a wider cross bar so I can fit the original bar pad as the current cross bar is 2" too narrow.

Thanks in advance

Scotty :D

Do the blast bars look anything like these:

Would the above bars be period correct or are they later?
