Old Renthal bar pad cover

1/7/2020 6:07am Edited Date/Time 1/15/2021 9:55pm
Would anyone be able to help
I am
Looking for an old Renthal bar pad cover in blue with silver/grey letters it’s for a project
The letters on the old ones were straight, the new ones are italic and not period correct
It doesn’t have to be a cloth one just the blue with the straight letters
Any help in locating one would be appreciated
See image attached for reference

I believe there is somebody overseas re-making the the earlier cloth version, but that appears to be the vinyl version that came around before the current version where the letters became Italic. Hopefully somebody will chime in with some better info.

With the amount of people restoring 90's bikes, you'd think Renthal would release some retro bar pads and handlebars?!

And, is it just me or are those handlebars bent?

They often use the old pics but sell the newer style.. they cant sell what Renthal hasn't made in well over a decade and a half or more, unless the rare possibility that have had old leftover stock sitting around for over a decade. I ran into this when I was looking for an old style black pad 2 years ago.

Same happened to me when looking for a Pro-Circuit KX500 silencer with the earlier style end cap. Lots of websites using the earlier photo of the silencer, but selling the current (fugly) version.

I couldn´t find one online, but I have the old version but in white with blue letters. What are you restoring?
I have a 99 YZ125 to restore, but will probably go Pro Taper

I think its an optical illusion the photo has been taken slightly angled and the high front brake master cylinder makes it look bent up

I still have one that I run on my current bike. It's nowhere near NOS though. Perhaps you have something we can trade? Feel free to send a PM. Pic is 2 years old but the cover is still about the same.

Does anybody know when the cloth bar pads were replaced by the plastic ones and when the lettering changed?

^ guessing it was around 97-98ish? Just looked at some pics and RC was running the purple cloth bar pad in 97, then 98 he had the newer plastic style.
