Topic: Can anyone tell me what kind of handlebars these are?

[Cb750k7.]

Ive bee searching for awhile to figure out what these bars are called or where to get them, they look like drag bars but the middle is a lot longer and the angles aren't as harsh as drag bars. if anyone could help me out that would be great. Thanks

Drag bars are typically straight, those are unusual. MS has a pretty good selection including two types of drag bars...

I say M bars mounted upside down

I thought the straight ones were called broomsticks.

we called them Drag bars....

The bars in question look like Norman Hyde M bars but that picture makes it hard to tell....

Definitely not M bars.  Got a set of those on my K8.
They could be drag bars. The straight width at the center is confusing.  Maybe the picture angle, too.
Bikemaster drag bars have a very narrow center area near the risers.   
These might be EMGO brand drags, as they have much more width in this area.
Cool profile on these though.

I have a set like that on a cb900 I bought, the controls rub on the gas tank though. i'm thinking of trying cb400f or euro bars. Are yours spaced up?

7/8 inch that's what kind..probably. Custom made..

How do you like the M bars, Fly?  Thinkin about replacing the clubmans on my 550.
Got a pic handy?? [or link]

Love them.  Less forward lean than clubmans and wider.  I forget the site I ordered them from.  Triumph specialist of some sort.  Here's an older picture.  No rise.  They lay nearly flat.

[flybox1]

Goldarrow.  No, not M-bars.

Steering stop mod might be necessary, depending on your tank and preferred bar angle..fyi.

[Stev-o]

Looks great, Fly, thanks.

I've seen them on eBay, not cheap.

We used to call them "Western Bars" on the old SuperHawks. The stock 'Hawk bars were flat, but bent back like you would expect: for guys (like me) who suffered low-flex backs and had to sit higher, Honda offered the "Western" bar. It was like a 19mm (3/4") rise in an otherwise flat bar, and about 3" wider overall.

The thing I liked best about them: at 70 MPH, there was almost NO WEIGHT on my wrists, as the air lifted my chest by just the right amount and angle. I could tour all day with those bars, and did!

And here I was thinking western bars were a place where cowboys got drunk and loose women sold their services...   You learn something new every day....

Hey, Flybox: do those bar-end mirrors clear the wide K7 tank OK? One of my locals here has an issue with his tank, mirrors, and bars, wants me to help?

It's an easy bar to make, does not look very wide in the middle to me..easiest bar to make.

 Them M bars are sexy looking beasts..

Mark,
My preferred bar position plus the mirrors would contact the tank without the 3/16" I had welded to the steering stops.
