Vintage MX Handlebars

The 70’s era MX/Enduro’s came stock with pretty unique handlebars. They were typically tall and wide with a high cross bar and a generous pull back. Unfortunately, it’s pretty hard to find a straight pair of these vintage bars to run on your old bike. So, I’ve been working on remaking these old bars but with updated stronger materials. I’m looking forward to showing off the prototypes soon. I hope to have a small batch in production shortly after which will be for sale through Cast & Salvage. Until then, get stoked on these old MX photos with all the riders running these awesome old style MX bars.

Mike Hartwig a career cut short. Mike was fast. Smooth style and spent some time with the Husqvarna and YAMAHA teams. Bad luck and a bad back held Mike back from a few national titles. #motocrosshistory #motocross #husqvarna #70smoto

My third moto was my 1971 Yamaha MX90. Lineman boots, Levi's, sweatshirt, Bell Star. Era cool in the early days. #yamaha #motostyle #70smoto #motocrosshistory #motocross #norcal

DG is lost in this era. I dig the everyday changing of bikes and gear of the early 70's. This pic is everything I grew up with and strived to be. #motocrosshistory #70smoto #motocross #backintheday #husqvarna #factorybikes #lostintime

MXA race texting the 1973 YZ250 Yamaha. State of the art back in the day. Right down to the straps holding the tank on. Trickness in its simplistic form. #motocross #motocrosshistory #yamaha #mxa #motocrossactionmag #70smoto
