Handlebars on Honda CB750 K1
« on: February 18, 2015, 06:11:16 AM »
I all ...... I have a Honda CB750 K1 from the USA with the standard high rise handlebars fitted.
I would like to change them to the UK style of bar which are lower.
What I would like to know is does anyone know the part number for the handlebars I want and the best place to source them from in the UK?
Some one said I need some bars with a 2" rise !!! Is this correct.
Any help would be grateful.

Cheers John

If you follow this link of my K4 and scroll down about 2/3 you will come to the Euro spec K1 bars which are indeed much lower. David Silver Spares in the UK sell them.

Good luck!

And to do it right, also get the euro spec clutch and throttle cables and a shorter upper brake line.
I recently did this on my K4.

Agree with Stev-o about doing it right especially the brake line. I kept my clutch and throttle cables same and no issue so it does work but prob not optimal.
