Period correct bar pads from the seventies mainly.
« on: January 27, 2012, 10:46:17 AM »
I'd like to see some more from the early seventies as I have some for the later seventies bikes. Specifically I want something to put on my 74 bikes instead of modern renthals etc. I can get them made up so if you have a cool one and are willing to send it to me, I will get it copied and will give you a couple for your trouble as well as your original back. Alternatively you can sell it to me also. Even a good pic of one would be a start on a bike in a photo you have.
By all means if you have a cool one from any era throw it up as I'm always interested in those kinds of things.

To be more specific I'm looking for aftermarket names from back then so I can put them on different bikes such as fox or dg .

Ha ha. 74 is what I am aiming for. I suppose if guys can rattle off a few of the cooler period aftermarket names then I can try and find the logo and do it that way. I want one for my 74 Ossa and Maico basically.

What you need is a 'DeBruizer' by Goldbelt, I'm thinking of getting a solid piece of rubber and turing down the grooves for handlebar clamp clearance to look like one.

I just bought off ebay a Goldbelt kidney belt in white/red/blue to match my JT gear, also picked up a 'DeVisor', a flush fitting (no studs visible) 5 stud peak  :-D

090 forget the seventies. it`s the evolution, pre 85 & pre 90 that have to run crossbar pads etc.

Brad, a few girls back in the seventies that I new used bra pads, but I don't think I could get any off them now. In the eighties they went to silicone. I hope this of help. Does your wife know you are doing this?

090 the new rules say that those classes have to run them.
this could be an opening for the vmx magazine to make a crossbar pad with vmx mag on it in the manufactures colours.i would buy them.
