Hi All,
My 77 KZ I just got has tall ram horn type bars which I don't like. Where can I get a true stock bar? Also will it be predrilled for wires or is it customery to just drill it yourself? Thanks much.
Regards,
COKID

Definitely not stock. Stock is too low so I got 2-3" rise super bike bars. The wires don't go on the inside. I had som 6" bars and fished the wires through. Never again.

If you can find a set of stock bars from a 1977 KZ650-C or B model they may suit you. They already have the holes for wires. Here are the dimensions. Ed

When I re did my left & right controls, I didn't want to take a chance on stripping one of the wires getting them thru the holes & having a short inside the bars & having to re do everything, like Steve said, they look just fine on the outside if you use a couple of cable ties on each side of the bars
