Need handlebar for a kz1000J

15 May 2013 14:23

I have a 82 kz1000J and previous owner put some goofy cafe racer handlebars

I want the original but they are no longer available. What other models had the same style? or where can I buy aftermarket with same bends? Any info or links would be appreciated

thanks

Does anyone have a 81-82 that would be kind enough to take measurements? parts on line show that the KZ750E had the same part number

Hey KillerKZ. Hard to tell. If I were to guess, I'd say the Superbike.

Spoke to Chris at Z1 enterprise and he suggested that I get Width , Rise, Pullback and Center Width from an original :blink: He also said they looked more like the kz900 style. Grumpy could I trouble you or anyone to measure the pullback and center width?

Thanks

Martin is accurate with the P/N. Here are the measurements (approximate): Width = 29"; Rise = 2"; Pull Back = 6.5"; Center Width = 5.75". Hope that helps.
