Chaps, im thinking of swapping my low bars for some higher ones. Just measuring the rise on mine they are around 4 and a half inches. What would be the higher rise im after, mine is a A model, and the ones iv seen on flebay etc look a better bar for me, just want to make sure im buying the correct ones.

I use Kawasaki Z1 bars and cut half an inch off each side - nice comfy position and width then - they are a bit too wide if you don't cut them down

Don't forget to take into account, your cables, and switches for length .. The higher the bars, the greater stretch ...

I test rode a 750A some years ago with low bars on & found it hard to manoeuvre & ride slowly due to its weight, I didn’t buy it, but now ride a USA 750L with higher bars & love it. It feels lighter, more nimble & more enjoyable to ride especially around town & I can live with the slight discomfort on faster roads. So I would think this would be a worthwhile mod, & well worth the effort even if u need longer brake lines & cables. Happy Kettling.
