Guards were always stainless steel ....... Brackets chrome plated steel ....

Tried Alan Bell once for some stainless front guard brackets , as he supplied some very good stainless fork shrouds , and headlight brackets to the pattern of the originals ...... but apparently the guard brackets were too difficult to make ............

Thanks Paul - is there a particular pattern/style name? Been biking for about 50 years but don’t think I’ve ever bought handlebars before!

No. I just wandered around the internet and found some for my 3C. A week before it was engulfed in flames.
You want 22mm diameter.
But it'll go on as soon as I've finished a few things.

I'll second that. Metric 22mm , smaller than 7/8 I bust some BMW

Switch gear trying to open it out to 7/8 bars..Like Paul says tons to find with Google. Just make sure there is enough room on the final outside straight section to fit all of your controls. I like Norton Commando 06.4887 European. Nice and narrow. .7/8

Don't worry. I'm used to it. I'm the world's n°1 specialist on rebuilding burnt Laverda. I have several in stock.

If I were you, I'd sit on your bike and place my hands where I feel comfortable and get somebody to measure width and height and look from there.
Anything too far from the original bars will need new cables and hoses.
A flattish bar not too wide will allow you to use the original cables.

Renthal does a huge range. Old Dirtbiker trick, do a push-up and measure how far your hands are apart and that's where you are at your strongest.

It’s got fairly high bars on at the moment - which are actually pretty comfortable but does make the front end waggle a bit

The original SF2 handlebars were a fantastic bar (for me) very comfortable and sporting enough.

Yep - absolutely agree, Dave. I also recall the term European Touring Bar. Vince, dirt bike hand pos and leverage will surely be different from what you need on a road bike - MX and probably all dirt bike bars are very wide.
 
I use a Renthal "Road Ultra Low" p/n 758-01 on my Jota (thanks to @markQLD for the tip). They are a thick walled aluminium which perhaps damp the vibes better, anodised silver appearance. Not original looking, but a great shape, highly recommended and should be easily available.
