1980 kz650 handlebars, what do I have?
24 May 2016 10:34
1980 kz650, this is my first 650.
Is this the f1 model?
And are these the stock bars? They kinda look like ltd bars and have too much pullback for my taste.
Just curious if they came this way.

Thanks for the info, they were indeed stock bars.
I ordered superbike bars and love them!
Much better in my opinion, my wrist didn't like the angle of the stock bars.
I also like the look of the new bars.
