fzs 600 2001 OEM Handlebar Spec

[Revilo18]

Hi all, first post so go easy plz.


Some idiot knocked my fazer over when parked on the street. The handlebars have bent slightly - right side is up about an inch on the left....makes for interesting cornering!


I was looking to replace with renthals anyway so it was a good excuse.


I want to get a good idea about the riding position before buying. I've read all the posts about 789s (streetfighter) and 758s (ultra lows) and I'm tempted by the 758s.... but i want to know how much lower i'll be then the original bars. I use the bike daily for 20 mile trip to work and often have a pillion. Also do a lot of riding on A3 up and down to family in the south and don't want the pillion exposed by me being way over the tank....


I've also seen the 754s (low) - are these more similar to the original bars?


Right now I'm thinking that I'm going to get the Ultra Lows (758) and trim 15 mil off each end and go for plug bar ends but if the Lows (754s) make for a better pillion ride I'll go with those. Not too interested in looking mean - just comfy!


So, does anyone know the original spec (height, rise, width, sweep) of the OEM bars?


I'm going to straighten the old bars once their off the bike so any tips on how to do this would also be great. Want to keep them in case I ever sell (which I don't see happening as this is the best all round bike ever made).


Thanks,

i'm thinking about getting some renthals, are they a pain to fit and will all the cables stretch>?

Bump given up with my clip ons so am i right in thinking i read Renthal ultra lows are the ones to go for? 

[thom_1991]

758 ultra lows according to the old site. Jake dimensions are given in most renthal adverts on ebay, get a tape measure and knock yourself out!

Got ultra lows on my bike love them,a lot wider than original ones but i like it can be cut down but they work for me as is.
