I am posting some pics of my handle bar replacement with an ATV bar, $19.95, and fits great, 4" rise and 4"pull back, sit pretty much up right, good for the older back and shoulders.. hope this works..

Notes: You have to drill a guide hole in the ATV bars for the dowel in switch housings, no big deal, I had to drill the brake guide hole twice the first time as you see in the pics it was angled a bit to far, second time did the trick, also you'll end up with a couple three cable and hose brackets left over, I secured loose hoses and wiring with tie wraps, had plenty of wiring and brake and clutch hose to do the job, did have to seperate the clutch hose from the master cylinder for a second just to reroute the hose, well that's about it, going to see about moving the foot pegs forward next, catch ya all later, DaveG

Is that your bar? Does the crossbar obstruct the view of the instrument cluster?

785mm (30.90") wide, 180mm (7.07") rise, 87mm (3.43") pullback, 195mm base (7.68") (clamp area?).

I have the Bikemaster Daytona handlebar. It's much better than stock for my wrists as the pullback isn't as extreme so my weight doesn't rest on my thumb and forefinger. I could stand a bar that had more rise, though.

741.68mm (29.2") wide, 136.14mm (5.36") rise, 76.20mm (3") pullback, 111.76mm (4.4") center.

That Moose Racing bar is nice and tall.

Not my cup of tea... I think it looks like a cross between a sports tourer and a BMX... but if you're happy with it that's great. Looks like you did a nice job.

Foot peg mods are mostly completed, have to get different materials so it looks more professional, but the basics are done, bike rides like the old standards, legs are bent at 90 degrees instead of 45 degrees, great on older folks, have pics on main page, anyway catch ya all later,, DaveG
