Handlebar dimensions

[Nchurmdaz]

Hi folks!

I've lost my stock handlebar to some vandals back in 2009, replaced with one from CB750. It's quite a bit wider, making cables stretch to their limits and adding to bike's width. Real bad for filtering.

Now I'm thinking of restoring my NTV to stock condition. However, a problem remains: there are no stock handlebars in my country, and in order to pick a replacement I need stock handlebar dimensions. Would you please help me by providing the numbers?

Thanks!

Hi Nchurmdaz.....

I've got Deauville 650 throttle and clutch cables fitted
to my bike which are longer than standard NTV cables.....
I fitted the longer cables because I raised the bars
some time ago.

But you should be able to get standard bars from some
of the suppliers linked below:

I'll try and measure my bars later, but the bike's
stuck in the garage at the moment.....

Thanks a lot, Jake!

I mostly use my bike in town, so width is of great importance once traffic gets cloggy. I remember the native setup to be quite satisfying. New replacements seem too expensive for now, I'd rather first try used ones hence the quest for dimensions.

Roughly, about 66cm wide (not counting the end weights).
And about 9-10 cm from bottom of bar to highest point....
