I'm trying to find out who made these handlebars, around 1983-85. Basic bend, basic rise, but the topbar had a slight bend down on one end...

I was probably nine or ten years old at the time. They had to be freestyle bars, cause during that time it was all about hopping and endos. Everything back then looked like candy! The bright colors, plastic wheels, colored tires, number plates, brake guards, dice valve caps, a hollow bolt?

I've collected a bunch of parts in my day, but this is one OLD School item I have yet to come by... Sorry for the crude drawing, but this should give you an idea. Can anyone help me identify these?!

CBR Cook Bros.

Thanks DOUG!

How rare were they?

Does anyone have a pic? (Anyone have a pair for sale?)

VERY rare and expensive.

There are some pics of them in the musuem which can be found above near the top of the page.

they do pop up every now and then on ebay...I think nice sets have been selling in the 300-400 range.

I'm lookin for a pair too, but there to rich for my blood right now...

yup. Cooks, and high $ if you can find them. Also earlier than you estimated. Saw my first pair around '81. None personally since.

there was a pair of those on ebay in a mixture of parts about a month back i was like *** are those things and why would anyone want them.

I have a set that has been cut at the ends... I am willing to sell them cheaper than they are worth.. they will need a rechrome and some Rod'z repair...

Let me know...
i need to move some stuff so i can get this 82 Quadangle done and hung on the wall with the other...LOL!!!
