1977 KZ1000 stock handle bar replacement

Hi All,
My 77 KZ I just got has tall ram horn type bars which I don't like. Where can I get a true stock bar? Also will it be predrilled for wires or is it customery to just drill it yourself? Thanks much.
Regards,
COKID
PS these cant be a stock option?

Definitely not stock. Stock is too low so I got 2-3" rise super bike bars. The wires don't go on the inside. I had som 6" bars and fished the wires through. Never again.

If you can find a set of stock bars from a 1977 KZ650-C or B model they may suit you. They already have the holes for wires. Here are the dimensions. Ed

When I re did my left & right controls, I didn't want to take a chance on stripping one of the wires getting them thru the holes & having a short inside the bars & having to re do everything, like Steve said, they look just fine on the outside if you use a couple of cable ties on each side of the bars
