I'm trying to find out the rise of the original bars. Mine has got some 2 inch rise bars on it and I know the originals are taller.

Thanks!
 
Re:

The site has two Sunn catalogues, neither of which is any help :D

There *was* a spec sheet online somewhere, but I can't find it now.
Anyway, from these two pics, the original bars look slightly taller than 2 inches:

The bars in this thread are the 4-inch Cruiser bars by S&M, which look considerably taller than the original ones in those flickr links.

And the bars on this bike from BMX Museum are also S&M Cruisers, but in 5.75 inch.

I have the 5.75 S&Ms on my Kona Aha cruiser, and they're excellent in every way: Height, sweep, width, curvature, welding, and the quality of the chrome.

Not sure if any of that helps, but it's always nice to talk BMiX.

I've changed the tyres for specialized fast traks and the pedals for some black ones of the same design but with with proper sharp pins, and fitted end plugs.

Rides well. Rear rim has a flat spot though - need to get a decent rim and rebuild.
 
Niiice. At least you've got the matching fork. I think Sunn varied the design over the years, but the segmented fork is a real stand-out.

Gusset used to do a set of 3" rise steel bars.


Still do

So far i've found the following options

Gusset Open Prison
DMR Wingbar (braced)
Renthal Jumpbar
NS Bikes District

I'm waiting for a PM back on a renthal jumpbar, which was my preferred choice cos it's a little lighter than the rest and i'm not going to be riding MASSIVE
