Hey I have decided that I will just cough up some cash and get new handle bars...Which one's are the best fit for a 1980 KZ750? basically I have never replaced handle bars before and would like to know what must be done too...oh yeh one more thing I just need basic bars that dont cost much as I Effed my other ones up :laugh:
I use cheap SuperBike bars from RideNow Motorsports (f.k.a AZMotorsports.com) - got 'em on the first 750. Got the "Daytona" model for the second 750 for a slightly more (and I do mean SLIGHTLY) stock look.
My cables all sqeezed in for the superbike bars, but I ended up replacing the brake line. For the Daytona bars it all fit nicely.

Despite the apparent similarities in the dimensions the 650B definitely feels wider and lower than the SR. The B bars give good leverage although I have not had a leverage problem with the SR.
The 650B feels more "natural" to me since all of my riding years back had been on my KL250 with dirtbike bars.

I just looked around, and despite having the Daytona bars on my 750 for all this riding season, I don't have a pic. If you want, I'll try and get one tomorrow...Just wondering if anybody had a pic of the daytona's on a KZ? if so that'd be cool!
UPDATE: So I went out in the garage and took some pics. Here you go, 4 pics of the Daytona bars on bike 3. You can see they have a slightly higher rise than Superbikes, and a tad more pull back, but nothing like stock, that's for sure...
