GT380 Handlebars.

Post by Dbailey »

Well all excited before Christmas looking for some handlebars for my GT380 and I thought I had found an original set that don’t need re-chrome. Went to fit them today and they are way too wide suggesting they are actually for a GT750. I know the bars have compound angles but would someone be so kind to measure a set so that I can compare. At this stage I’ll ignore the angles..

Thanks

My Canadian import GT550J is more like 27 inches.

As you've probably already seen, Partzilla lists the US 250,380 & 550 as using the same 'bars. They are also showing them as being in stock, as are Suzuki UK (sorry if you already knew this!).

Fit flat bars - worth another 5mph at least........ :roll:
Plus it annoys the purist dickheads that are bred to have the 'P' extracted........ :roll:
Proof that four strokes are over complicated

Turns out the guy I bought the bars from had two sets and the second ones measure about 28 inches... we’ve swapped em over and now all good.
