Wanted: Bolt on Grasshopper Handlebars

[RuppStateNY]

Looking for original early bolt on Ruttman Grasshopper handlebars, or something as close to it as possible. They look just like the bars on the one piece Grasshopper fork/bars, very turned down chopper looking. Taking a longshot before I have them made, ya never know.

I have two sets. I would sell one. But they would need to be rechromed. They are rare! Have not seen on bay for many years. Probable the last set were the ones I scored. Anyway, you mentioned they are early bars. I would disagree. They are very late bars... the story goes as follows..per Mr. MeanDean..
Ruttman was reducing costs/inventory late years in manufacturing. Creating new fork cheaper to manufacture as two pcs. And turning the clutch guard into a soup can style cover. My bike is original and has a 74 serial. Joker might have more info... as this is what I was lead to believe.

You should have pics of the bars in your message box.... I will try to find pics of the complete I scored years ago. It would show bike with these bars.
