Topic: 1978 CB750F Low Bars?

[736cc]

I plan on replacing the stock 1978 CB750F SS handlebars w/ superbike low bars. Anybody try that? I would guess w/ the swap the throttle cables would foul the tank at full lock, brake line needs a shorter version and clutch cable is probably too long as well. What else should I plan on? Solutions?

I put on "Euro Bars" with only a simple cable re-routing required.
The brake line does have an extra curve or two in it but it looks ok and works great!

Same for me with Norman Hyde M bars.

Norman Hyde M bars on my K8.
throttle cables extend forward from the controls, and then loop around between the gauges and headlamp bucket.  no binding here.  Superbike bar routing should even be easier as there is more rise.

shorter brake line was needed.  I went with stainless 31" eye to eye and its still a bit long but much less snaking than original.  28" probably would be best for these bars.  i'm sure a new line around 31-32" would fit well for the SB bars. Slingshot cycles does good work.

I think I've got the superbike bars on my 77 CB750F2 put on by a PO.  They are comfortable when riding at speed. 

I also have the original bars (according to the PO) in the garage and they are high and wide in comparison.

+1 for Slingshot for brake lines. I run a -3.5" clutch cable on my euro bars and it's exactly the correct length. Stock throttle cable.

I have superbike bars on on my 78 750F. All stock length cables. I find them very comfortable. No problems with binding. No interference with the tank at full steering stops.
