I cannot tell if this cruiser bar is a KOS cruiser bar or early GT
any thoughts from the pros?
the second picture shows the bar in question behind a KOS cruiser which I am assuming is running KOS bars.

The bars on the Nomura look to be Kos bars. GT cruiser bars actually had two "first gens". The first were wider and flatter, both in backsweep and upsweep. The second type were narrower, and had more backsweep and upsweep (I've owned both so I was able to compare them)
The Nomura bars shown dont have the same grip length as either GT's. The GT's have substantial length between the grip and the bend (the area where the brake lever is fitted)
Just my two cents worth

Great thanks!

now I need to find some

I've been looking for a genuine Kos bar, or a first gen GT bar, for my RRS 24 for ages

I had some redline cruiser bars that looked like that. They were on my 24 champion.
