Fz1: question - 3rd party handlebars - b1k3rdude - 12-08-24
Ive been trying to get a set of oem/std handlebars on ebay but either the bars are for the FZ1-N which has diffent end weights or they are the right bars but they want silly money for bars that are manky.
So my question is, what 3rd party bars have other people fitted?
- do any of them have the locating holes for the switchgear.
- which one have a more upswept height compared to std.
- which 3rd party HBs ones come with similar weighted bar ends?

I fitted a set of FZS600 bars to mine, very happy with them. Not as wide as the OEM bars and less pressure on my shoulders

- can I assume the std yamaha bar-end screw straight in?
- the holes are present and in the right location for the left/right switchgear
- the diameter iof the bar is the same..?
What year FZS600 was this off and where the bars chrome? and Im guessing the FZS600 bar have a bit of an upsweep top them, so your hand are higher and a bit further back..?
And at a guess if FZS600 bars are compatible, then I would think so would FZS1000 bars....?

Firsty let me apologise, I misread the model as being the FZS1000, however I checked the bar dimensions.
I did ride the FZ1 N some time ago and didnt like the bars and felt they were too wide and straight for my taste
I also found the bars on my FZS1000 were too wide for me and my shoulders were sore after rides in excess of 100 miles.
They are as follows:
Standard 7/8inch diameter.
End to end bare handle bars without the bar ends in place 650mm 25.5 inches
Center to center of the mount on the top yolk is 85mm about 3 and 5/16inches
The sweep back from the centre line is about 100mm 4inches
The rise is about 65mm 2.5inches
They will only take the FZS600/Fzs400 end weights
Holes should be the same for the Yamaha switches as most of them are,

- Same as my FZ1, its pretty much standard on most motorcycles.
- The FZ1 ia 650/660mm, so good match.
- I dont understand the context of this info.
- This seem like a lot, on the FZ1, the sweep is 80mm.
- This also seems like a lot, but if accurate is unfortunatly this is way too much. At most I only need half that.
- Hmm these do look like they have less weight to them - https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/4181573/fzs600-fazer-5rt4-2003-070-a/steering-handle-cable
