The Raask Laverda handlebars are of very crude quality (chrome) and not anywhere near the original that Laverda used on the twins and triples. In North America you can contact Wolfgang Härter (located in B.C. Canada) under http://www.angelfire.com/biz/laverda/ and in the U.K your best chance to obtain a set is Slater under http://www.slaterlaverda.com/

they are referred to as "Brevettato (patent) handlebars"

Check out the Tomaselli Condor adjustable bars. They probably made the original Laverda adjustables. RR

I got my Raask bars off Feebay and they needed to be cut down to fit the forks. It seam like they "sometimes" come in oversize lengths (to fit any thing, bulldozers,etc) and with out being cut down they were just too wide for use.
 I ended up cutting about 3 inches out of the center and rewelding them back together.

Got my set from Mick, I had to cut down some excess on the bar end to fit my 750 K3 better. They aren't the best, but they are way better than the crappy clubmans the PO put on.

For the price I paid, I can't complain.

Hey RR, you wouldn't happen to be related to the late Lance Weil aka Ricky Racer ???
and you're right the original bars were made by Tomaselli. Center bar on the original is about 11 inches long, the bars for the controls are 10 inches long.

Hi, Gerald. No relationship to Lance Weil; I just usta own a Rickman-Honda he built. Besides, he was better looking.  ;D  RR
