The bars on my newly acquired '73 CB500 are just too high (rise?) and angled back (pull?) for me. I'm thinking I want something flatter/lower and straighter. I'm certain I don't want full-on cafe racer bars with the grips down at the level of the headlight. I've read that superbike bars are a good in-between. Looking around online has netted a lot of options - ranging from $19 to $100+.
Is there a "normal" width for superbike bars? Or, do they get cut down to preference? Any guidance here would be great.
Oh, it's worth noting that while this CB is nice it is far (!) from a museum piece... lots of parts have been swapped, modified, faded, rusted... dented. My goal is to bring it back and keep it true to the O.E./era, e.g. not a brat, cafe racer... but not a 1973 brochure cover clone either.
Thanks!
