Looking for stock or similar handlebars
« on: December 25, 2019, 06:17:51 PM »
Hi,

My 1980 R65's handlebars we're bent by a previous owner.

I am looking for a stock-style replacement.

Can anyone point me to the correct model, pull back, rise etc to match the OEM bars similar to the photo attached?

Low bars don't work for me due to weight on my wrists.

Thanks

I am going to be a Winter Texan for 6 weeks starting next week. The eBay guy wants $50 for shipping.

This UK guy has cost and shipping to US or Canada for a lot less $75US.

There is a fellow in Texas on ebay that probably has 20-30 of the bars you need hanging on a wall. His ebay name is "lamontsanfurd " I would message him and see what he has. He's in Austin Texas.

You can also go even higher with RT bars like I have on mine
But the clutch cable routing can be  tricky if you have a dash pad
