KZ650 to Z650 spec bars was created by Guzziman
Hi all,
I would like to find The factory Euro bars and matching clutch cable (maybe brake Line). If it's hard to find the factory bars if someone knows the width, rise and pull back specs that would be much appreciated.
Thanks again for all the awesome input received so far on my 79 KZ650 C3. Attaching pic of me and the new ride. Best $1700 I ever spent.

Very nice!
You might want to go on to the UK and other European ebay sites. You might find a good example on there and if they participate in the Global Shipping Program it's usually not too expensive to get to you It just might take a little longer.

Your bars look like the stock bars. The problem appears to be that someone has turned them way too far up and forward. I highly recommend before you try installing different bars you simply adjust the current bars to the CORRECT position and then use them like that for several months. I suspect you will find they are really nice bars when properly adjusted. The image below is from the Kawasaki Service Manual; it shows the correct adjustment. In fact, you can even pull them somewhat further back and lower if you find that more comfortable. My bars are the same as yours and they are very comfortable even on very long rides (my longest 1 day ride was 450 miles). Ed
