All you old timers will love these 250r bars

[badpig121]

If you're old enough to remember 'em they need no explanation. For you newbies and for those under the legal drinking age, these are the original aftermarket handlebars for an ATC. Granted, I have no purpose for them whatsoever, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to pick them up. Just pretty darn cool and brought back alot of memories.

:Bounce :naughty: badpig those would look cool on the 81 250r i just bought hint hint

Looks like you got some other radical rides in that second pic! hahhha

Who was the manufacturer? I'm 33 and been 3 wheeling since '82.... I don't recall ever seeing bars like that!

:rolleyes: Dang Dale.... created a monster huh? Actually, they'd look better on my 82R with the Desert plastic tank, speedo, Hi-Flite seat, rear axle extenders, and Progressive front AND rear suspension! How's that for some retro trike assessories? The bars would just add to it! Oh... and I found some fresh OEM 300R rings JUST incase that motor I got with the 300R kit here needs them!

First come first serve Bruce By the way you was right its a 81 250r

[hrc85250r]

they look a lot like the "f-bend" bars that are on ebay a lot, alot of people put them on nice quads, and in my opinion look like crap and feel goofy, but if those are vintage, they are def sweet, anything vintage is awesome....

You've gotta love the pink trike with the two year old tricycle motor (she's not in the picture though!!! :D )

I wasn't sure if I was going to keep the bars or Ebay them... I'd rather sell them to someone on the Forum though. That way I know they'll be used on a trike that I can see (you better post pic's though). If anyone wants them bad enough, PM me with an offer.

I don't remember the manufacturer's name and there aren't any markings on the bars, but if anyone else remembers, post it!

[erectordale]

ok bruce you have the first shot lol

[MTS]

AWSOWM thems are wicked bars!

[dirtface]

I picked up a set of those at a bike junkyard a few months ago, they are now on my '82 250R. They had Graydon on them before I painted them. And I'm pretty sure Answer made those kind of bars too.

[twgranger]

Their are chrome ones on ebay that look just like them.

[88 Turbo Coupe]

I was told they are for people who have short arms. HeHe

[Darius1502]

I am 32 and 3 wheeling since '82....don't remember those at all.

[250rAL]

I must be a REAL old timer. I remember those as being pretty recent!

[Wickedfinger]

I had a pair of them I picked up "new" for my old '84 ATC200S, they were black and made by Answer. I think I put them on around 1992?.

[Darius1502]

They may be 'new' old school.....just not 'old' old school

[deathman53]

I think those are graydon bars, I had a set on my trx250r when I got it, they were the goofiest things in the world, it also had some ridiculas graydon ugly ass bumper.

[badpig121]

Graydon. Thanks, I couldn't remember the name for the life of me. Are they still in business? They had a whole line of bumpers, bars, nerf bars, and other misc accessories.

I remember these bars circa 85. My friend put them on his LT250r... It was all flat tracked- out. I hated them, but they looked cool. At the time, the only handlebars I remember where the replacement ones. These were the first new design in handlebars that I can remember.

350x'inNY-- Here is a pic of the headlight guard per my PM. It just needs a coat of paint. I've got the mounting hardwear. It mounts to the top of the triples... I think it's the same as the 350X
