I have two sets of what I think are 1st gen. Hutch cruiser bars. However they have a few differences. Did Hutch make two different crossbar rise handlebars or maybe some differences from different years or ohmy.gif one set may not be HUTCH ??

a little hard to see here but the bottom bar has a lower crossbar.


one measures about 6 1/8 rise and the other is about 5 5/8 rise



and last, one has more back sweep then the other.



Thanks for any info,

scratch_one-s_head.gif Are you sure either one of them are Hutch bars? My memory may be failing me, but something doesn't look right.

Well with 20 + year old parts that have been passed to who knows how many poeple hard to be 100% sure. However the taller set did have the black transfer style decal on the left side as seen in old hutch adds. What else could they be with that thin crossbar?

Good point. I dunna know, something seems off though, like the bottom box section isn't right for Hutch cruiser bars. The top ones look the most like the ones I can find pics of. Any chance the others could be Hutchins or Bad Bars?

they are both hutch..diffrent years mabe...the consistancy wasnt very consistant....after all they were produced for at least 7-8 years....

That is what I have been gathering, that Hutch's consistantcy was not the best. Especially if it was 4:59pm Friday afternoon. The welder could have said F*#@ it the crossbar was cut a little short who's going to notice if I weld it a little low ??? dry.gif

Or what else I have heard from a few experts is they might be National Pro cruiser bars. They also had that curvy not such sharp bends.
