New bars - Daytona bars v european bars?? CB750
« on: June 25, 2007, 03:08:57 PM »
Ok after a long ride this weekend and having my spine compressed by my cruiser style bars Ive narrowed the new choice of bars down to 2:

european v daytona.
               Width     rise        pullback
Euro       : 29 1/2   2`         5 1/2`
Daytona  : 29         4`         4 3/4

Its kind of hard to know without seeing a pic of the bars on a CB750 but for those that have these bars any comments on
1) how comfortable they are for long distance touring?
2) Does the master cylinder hit the tach?

These are really my 2 main issues. Any help/comments/pics much appreciated. Ive seen a past thread on this and looks likes Ill be using this link to buy the bars...

I have the Euro type bars on my 750, 550 and KZ1000 (as you can tell, I like them ;)).  They're a great compromise between drag bars and the stock ones and, for me at least, are very comfortable on long rides.  Here's the best picture I could find of them on my 750.

Thanks Gordon thats exactly what I was looking for and you sold me on the Euro bars  -I like how they look and the master cylinder appears from the pic to be clearing the tach nicely.

Many thanks
Andy

Hey Gordon, can you point me in the direction of where you got your eurobars and mirrors? Your setup is rad. Thanks in advance

 I bought the euro bars listed for a K1 750 non US bike from DSS. They look just like above, and come drilled for the wires and pins.
