Can anyone give me the dimensions of stock bars for these bikes? Looking to buy an aftermarket set to bring my RD400 back to "original". Need rise, length & pullback of the stockers...
I am not sure if you'll like stock handlebars. I am 1.76 m (just over 5'9"), and find the stock bars on my Euro 350A too tall, and also with too much pullback. So I use some LSL "superbike" bars with maybe 2" rise at the most. More comfy, and allow more weight over the front wheel.
I have what I believe to be stock 'bars for my '75 RD350; I'll measure them if you want, or do you want 'em? I'm just down the road a ways...
The stock bars on the RD400c that I test rode in 1976 felt like a motocross bike. I told them to put CB400F bars on it when they put my Geneva green bike together from the crate. The rescue bike I have now has similar.
29" wide measuring in a straight line across

Great! Looks like about 5 1/2 of rise, yes? And 29" across. I should be able find something over at Economy Cycle with similar numbers.
