84 KZ700 handlebar suggestions?

I have been looking for handlebars with no rise and shorter pullback that will give me a more forward riding position. The problem I am running into finding a set that gets the brake assembly side the top fork tube mount. Any suggestions?

Sorry about that.......The master cylinder and brake fluid reservoir come in conflict with the top of the front fork when looking to find a bar with not rise. It seems to me a bar that is a little longer may put the brake assembly outside of a conflict and I was curious if any one found a bar that works.

A photo of the handlebars might be helpful --- in case superbike bars are already installed, in which case the choices would be somewhat limited. The mc doesn't seem to be very large, but you might be able to find something smaller or maybe get one having a separate reservoir from the piston assy. ???

I'm running super bike bars with a similar set up on My ELR. You may want to look at Renthal bars (motocross stuff)
