They look like CW's to me, most of the fakes just have a straight bar accross the top, unlike the cw's that bend back slightly.

Dan (dansharos) is the seller so I'd say there def legit...

He's a member here, I would PM him thru this sight or thru ebay w/ any questions...

They are real CW bars, Japan made. USA bars have a solid knurl not 2 lines like those. There is nothing wrong with those. I was ready to get them but I need USA because my bike is a TFM. Those would be correct for a PMC.

How about these! http://cgi.ebay.com/NOS-VINTAGE-BMX-BANDIT...1QQcmdZViewItem

I thought all CW bars had a cross hatch knurling.... maybe just the pro bars???? need more CW groupies on this guys..

Cross hatch knurling is the main identifier, but, like Lou said, the overseas models have the two strips of knurling. The proof is the fact that Jeff Norton is parting out those z1500 CWs (overseas models, right?) and selling the parts on Ebay. The bars off those do not have the cross hatch knurling.

man I need those Bandito bars but just a bit to high for my wallet right now.

Those ones on ebay are only 26" wide. I thought all the CW bars were 28" wide. I want a pair but I want the wide ones.

i had 2 of those bandito bars.....the pair up for auction is one of them.

they are really trick.

Those freaking cw cruiser bars get cut all the time as far as i can tell. I bought a set that was cut down and Rod is repairing for me...been shatloads of them on the bay lately...commanding 100+ prices.

As far as I know, maybe somebody can correct me, CW made three sizes of cruiser bars. They had the 5" rise, the (Ithink) 6 1/2", and the Gullwing, which was sort of a beach cruiser style, Imo. Maybe somebody can chime in. I have only seen the Gullwing bars in advertisements.

^ thats a thought. I have a set. I`ll measure mine today and post. Everybody that has these, lets measure and compare.
