what manufacturer painted their t-bars a lite to medium blue color in the old days? Thanks, Sam

Is this a trivia question oh-D2-Guru? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

Nope, I have a set of T-bars that are in real nice shape but blue in color and don't look ever to have been painted. The shock mount holes are also on a slight angle. Look like Lakewoods but not sure.

Kool Fuel bars sorta look like Lakewoods and they may have been blue. Is the rear of the bar angled just like the front but in the opposite direction?

No Dave they are square cut like lakewoods. They have the short flat snubber and are the long type that would hit the spring perch it looks like. They extend out the back but have no U bolt set-up for the back part of the spring. They are the narrow/rectangular versions.

I looked at the pics you sent. They are Lakewoods.

Thanks Dave. Just can't see any yellow paint anywhere. Maybe the owner had them stripped and painted blue. I will do them up in Lakewood yellow. Got all the decals anyways. Thanks again!
