Handlebar Width

#1 PostAuthor: wheelysteve » Tue Feb 02, 2021 7:08 pm

Anybody know the correct overall width of a set of original Z1B handlebars. I've got 2 different sizes in the garage, and all the repros are different again ?

The correct width is considerably shorter than standard - push the switchgear in as close to the curve as possible then cut anywhere from an inch to two inches off the end so your grips fit nicely.. :D :D


What width the original uncorrected bars were I have no idea though... :shock:
