NEW ANIMAL BOB BARS.


Who would have thought it? Bob Scerbo buying into the whole "wider is better" revolution? And in chrome, no less? Apparently he's been spending a little too much time out of the New York/New Jersey area. He's not running brakes again quite yet, but if he decides to, he'll have plenty of room for the levers. Chroming was expensive, but well worth it jusdging by the finished product. The new bars are 28" wide and 8" high, and will retail for about $15 more than the current Bob Bars. Same sweep and bend.

According to Ralph, Bob "just wanted to try something different, and there was no way I was gonna let him run Slams."

(None of the aforementioned is true. Well, except for the measurements. In reality, that's two pairs of uncut GT bars from the early '90s, the bars that the "Bob Bars" are based on. One pair actually IS going to Bob—he doesn't have any of the old ones left—the other pair is probably destined for one of my bikes. And while it wouldn't surprise me if Bob ran the GTs, you can expect them to be cut down and—probably—painted black.)
