not sure about these but I have yet to see another set like them on any of the big message boards.

The Fluted box bars have popped up from time to time but never the V bars. Reiley and Randy mentioned that Tuf-Neck might have made a V bar and Brian Hays mentioned that an older SE Ad might have had these listed as SE bars but no proof as of yet.

Anybody else have any info on these bars ? pics?

Skyway Race bars are pretty few and far between.

I guess you guys never heard of Uni Cross-Fire handlebars........that must make em' pretty damn rare!!!!! I found the only known surviving handlebar, 1 of 25 prototypes, $250.00 or some crazy price back in 1985. They were carbon composite handlebars one piece bars. Jeff Haney now has em'. Maybe he'll share pics of them with us??

Wow I have never seen Hutch cruiser bars go for more than $350. Anything above that is just a chance thing (couple people were in dire need at the same time) $250 is about right for them.
Hard to find but not really rare if that makes sense.
It "seems" like I have seen more Profile cruiser bars than Hutchs though, at least that I have had a chance to buy, maybe i'm wrong.
I would even rate SE's and Kuwi's harder to find.

*edit* I was thinking powerbend cruiser bars not that style my bad.

Bandito made a cool bar that hardly ever shows up. That HBS is cool too. Isn't that what they used to call the "bull" bar?

Very cool thread, keep the photo's coming...What about early Robinson Cruiser Bars?

Hey Pjbaz, I reckon you might have Profile Expert Bars there, what are the dimensions? Did Profile ever do an advert for the Handlebars, I have never seen one? Anyone?

the Bandito bars have a double cross bar eh?

Agreed GHP cruiser bars are rare-as - they do not look like regular Star Bars - they are angled/squared off - look more like VDC.
