Low rise handle bars?

Post by Jethro » Sun Feb 21, 2010 1:21 am

I'm doing my first ca77 restoration and the bike I'm working on has a bent handle bar. I really like the look of the low rise bars. Anyone know of a good source for a set?

i went to a normal motorcycle shop and bought a generic set of superbike bars. i matched the and cut the holes for the electrics to the original higher bars. worked fine, except for trying to solve the puzzle of the right length clutch cable. it is also important to note that the only electric i have running through is the starter button. I have a custom toggle that i built into the side of the headlight shroud for the lights. no horn, no turn signals. the bars have a 2 inch rise on them. the clutch cable i have currently is the high bar type that enters the lifter case from the North West. seems like i would have less of a problem if i had the type that dropped in at a 90 degree into the right hand case.
