Ya PU and WPS both already have them. Now I am gonna have 3 reps all stabing eachother in the back over prices. Tucker was the only ones with Pro Taper they should have just stuck with it.

I'm just glad Tucker Rocky is not making their own bars anymore. Smile
Back in 1990 a local shop I was riding for hooked me up with a few pairs of Tucker Rocky bars.
I put a set on one of my 125's and rode a little with them and liked them (yes I filed the clamps first).
The following weekend I headed to an AX.
In first qualifying heat I hit the face of a jump in about 3rd gear pinned, and the clutch side of the bars down the clamps snapped ,I landed full throttle with front wheel on the next jump and went flying straight into the arena wall and was knocked out cold,messed up my back pretty good.
After spending 2 nights in the hospital, we get a call from the local shop I rode for... saying that the bars they gave me had been recalled. LOL
To make a long story short, TR called my Dad offering us stuff,not sue them.
My family wasn't the sue-happy type.
We ended up settling on a case of Sikolene and few pairs of Alumilites. Smile

Ouch!
Thanks for the warning/info. Smile
I didn't know TR made PT's...perhaps I was a guinea pig for their first models. Smile
Seems like they have it figured out now though.
