ok guys i need some info on some patterson bars i just got recently .. the bars at the top are my pro bars ,the bars at the bottom are the ones i just picked up wich measure 28"x6 3/4" now they tally up with the patterson advert (standard/cruiser bar sizes ) just one thing im not too sure is the knurling ?? and at the end of the bar its stamped "cr-mo japan" ,, these came on a complete pr200 from the usa which also came with a patty post measuring at 14" also stamped "cr-mo japan" again this checks out with the advert .. my question is did patterson get stuff made in japan at some point ??

They sure look like Patty bars apart from the fact the cross bar is lower down.
I didn't know they ever got stuff made in Japan though - GT made the stuff for them at that point.
Maybe these are the last of the Patterson products (mfg. in Japan for GT)?
Or they are just nice copies.
