Hi folks
Does anyone know the measurements of original handlebars bars on the 750 sf2,
Mine had a bar end mirror one side and an end weight the other which are fairly home made by a former owner. So I decided to replace with a better mirror.
On eventually removing the mirror I found it had been sleaved inside the throttle twist grip about 25mm, after repositioning all the controls with the twist grip ending flush with the bar end there was not enough length for the master cylinder etc to fit before the handlebar curve.
I dug out another handlebar out of the spares stash, which formerly came off a Ducati 860Gt, which probably came off something else prior to that.
Both bars are the same width at 65 cm, The one that was on the bike measures 19cm before the curve, whereas the replacements are 21cm (enough space for the controls).
Strangly enough the one I have taken off look more like Ducati bars as they have 3 holes for the electric cables to run inside the bars, but won't be as the problem would remain the same..

Ok now I've just taken these measurements from the project I bought, I think they are the original bars.
Tip to tip at the tube centre 680mm, centre straight section 140mm, straight part at bar ends 200/220mm, rise 30mm.
I don't think the throttle is fully on the bar which would account for the bar end difference, you can probably knock the extra 20mm off the bar end measurements and this will also affect the overall width. You can view the bars in my SF2 thread.
Cheers Pat.

Throttle is all the way on. Leaves enough space for the rest.

I don't think the throttle is all the way onto the bars I measured Paul but yes there is still room for the master cylinder even so.
 
I don't think either pair are Original Laverda fitment on mine, but at least everything fits on now without overhanging the end of the bars, it's the length of the straight part that was the issue. The measurements are about there, but the rise is higher at 60mm, I will have to wait until I see another SF to compare.
I've different grips on either end but in the great scheme of things it gives it a bit of character.
Do the any of the Laverda OEM bars have holes in the bars to route the switch cables?
 
Early 750s using the large starter button, so up to SF1 have 2 holes in the bar for that button.
One under the button where the wires go in and one under the bar in the middle where the wires come out.

Switch wiring is external but then, there's only one little switch for horn and high/low beam.
