    Hi.
    I'm new to the forum. I recently bought and have been fixing up a 77 CR 390. My mechanic has got her running, that was a thrill! She needs a lot of TLC, but I'm getting there.
    One thing I'm trying to figure out are the bars. The previous owner said they were not OEM, so I've been looking for OEM ones. I have a couple of questions regarding this:
    -are 1977 bars only black, or did they sometimes ship chrome?
    -is there any way to identify OEM bars, any markings?

    Thanks for any help[ on this.
    Regards
    Peter

    I have chrome OEM bars off a 77 250WR if you're interested.

    Hi moto_surfer thanks for replying.
    I'd like to pm you about your bars, but I can't find where to pm. Maybe it isn't available to me yet as I am a recent member. Or maybe the pm button is staring me in the face and I don't see it.
    Moto surfer if you'd like to pm me , I'd like to talk to you about those bars. Thx

    Hi.
    Seems like I don't yet have the ability to send a PM. When I go to the INBOX and pull down, I don't have the option to START A NEW CONVERSATION. I just says you have no recent conversations..
    Frustrating because I'd like to PM Moto-surfer

    Hi Ruwfo.
    Thanks for the reply and photos.
    I'm trying to PM Moto_surfer who has offered to sell me his OEM ones, but I can't PM. When I go to the INBOX, I don't have any choice to start a new conversation. I've tried in 2 different browsers. jimspac suggested I ask you about it.
    Maybe if someone sent me a PM I could see if at least Im able to receive PM's.
    thanks for your help.

    You really dont want to ride with the OEM bars unless you are doing desert riding. Way too wide in my opinion. I cut my 78 390 AMX bars down - same as 77 CR I believe (the autos got hand me down parts!) They are black. Good luck with your search.

    Hi Thanks a lot for the wide bar warning. And you are right the OEM for the 77 Cr390 are black. I think I found a pair.
