Hey,
| From what I know my bars are original. I pulled them out of a shed that a |
puttsing around in there. They have GP stamped on the bottom left and the
knurls for the clamps are one big section instead of two smaller ones.

How do you positively ID original police bars? I have a set of handlebars I
took off my Ambo several years ago. They look similar to police bars, kind
of high and swept back, and the bike had some other police-style equipment
on it when I got it, but wasn't ever a real police bike so far as I can
tell.
They would definitely need to be rechromed, but aren't bent or kinked
anywhere.
They have two grooved sections in the middle part of the bars, and small
holes a few inches in from either end for control box locator pins.
Just gathering dust here, so I'd take any reasonable offer, maybe even an
unreasonable one, if you can use them.

I am surprised they came out smaller. They might have stripped the nickel,
then flashed to avoid build up in those "ugly grooves"...instead of masking
those grooves. Anyway, you gave the reason why I wanted to avoid repros,
besides that they may be missing the little hole underneath. I am used to
the angle of the police bars, and I like to use original where possible.
Right now I am just finding what is out there, I'll probably put a call into
Mark at MG Classics sometime this week..

Ross
