Euro Bars from Z1enterprises.


Actually, Looking at those bars and comparing them to the link provided by Patton, thy may be even Daytona Bars. They have quite a bit of Rise. Much more than the 2.4" of the Euro bar. The rise is measured not from center to center but from absolute bottom to absolute top when the risers are laid flat upside down on a flat surface. They also seem to have more pullback than my Euro-bar.

I would like to apologize to everyone here. I just went threw my order history at BikeBandit where I bought these bars and have discovered that these are actually the "black Superbike Bars" by BikeMaster. The reason I got confused was because I was not sure myself which bar I would like the best so I bought five different sets of bars. The Euro bars do not come in black so that leaves the "Superbike Bar" Part # 11-0510 the chrome ones are #11-0511. They are also available from Z1E. They have about a half inch more reise than the Euro bars but almost two inches less in pullback. They are also about three-quarters of an inch narrower than the Euro bar.

And I thought I was going to have to hit Rob over the head with my euros.

The bike came with drag bars and they were the pits. I have a few of them laying around. Roy

While many manufacturers appear to sell the same handlebars, the dimensions tend to change a little.

You do need to pay attention to the rise, pull-back and center section width.

There are no industry specifications for handlebars - other than 7/8" (most bikes) or 1" (harley).

With the LTD bars, there is a significant pull-back different in brands. The width of the drag bars change as much as 3". Ranging from 27" to 30". This all impacts fitment of master cylinders and clutch perches...

The one piece of information not typically provided, is the angle of the grip portion of the bars.

For example, the bars on a Z1 are essentially level to the ground in the grip area. H2 bars are turned downward about 20 degrees.
