Saw a set on a KX last night in the bike builds section and now I want a set,

*DISCLAIMER*
I've got a broken ankle at the moment and have a lot of time on my hands so I have this compulsive urge to buy stuff because I'm so bored, it's either a set of purple Renthals or Rare Snap-On ratcheting screwdrivers off eBay haha so help a brother out!

I have bought several off ebay because they are the best ratcheting screwdrivers ever and I have Red,Yellow,Orange and green but there are lots of other special colors.

I don't have a yellow one yet but last count I have nearly 20, some of them are very rare.

Those bars are rare and expensive. People need them for Emig and Splitfire builds. Good luck with your hunt, Ive seen a few come up for sale over the years.

I already sold the purple set that you see but I do currently have a set of the old Renthal 7/8 bars in silver with red ends from my YZ250 build. Used but completely straight.



I also have the red Renthal cloth bar pad but I am not sure that I want to get rid of that unless the price is too good to say no...

Why not anodize a set of silver ones? Cannot achieve the same quality of finish or their structural integrity will be compromised?

Yeah that would be a nice addition to a collection. Signature series SSDMR4's are always interesting. All those special editions were only released in America, up until recently when they released the red orange and green ones here. We get Nothing over here.
