The diameter of the fork upper tubes is 37MM, top to bottom, they have no taper under the headlight mounts.Last edited by bikerphil; 06-09-2010, 06:15 AM.2H7 (79)

ry the ones off of the early cbr600 models (F1 or Hurricane) as they will fit the forks!Comment

You could also check out the Kawasaki GPZ750 bars from '83 - 87. Same diameter and have adjustable angle (up / down)
also, you could slide the fork tube up a bit through the top clamps and perch the bars on top of the triple clamp to help clear the tank.Last edited by Eveready1100; 10-26-2010, 04:30 AM.79 SF Special W/ Stock all original motor @ 384,000klms
