Odyssey Hobby bars
« on: March 23, 2012, 12:40:53 PM »
So I was checking to see when stock of Bayou bars were coming to the UK and was told that in two weeks they were being replaced by Flatware "Hobby" bars - anyone heard of these or have any info?

the two piece bars that TA has been riding. Zero sweep, I'm not sure of rise.

I rode Terry's bike for 5 minutes on December- they are huge.

If they are really due out in two weeks as the supplier says, there is zero mention of it anywhere on the Odyssey website - I guess they want to get rid of the older version and sales pretty much comes to a halt when people know a newer version is due soon.


I'm holding out for these myself - so far I have an eta of 12 April but we'll see.

Byke that was funny.  Looking at what Terry has on his bike looks nice.
