My next long-term project is to see if I can replace the handlebars. I'm looking for a little less sweep so that my wrists are straighter rather than bent. The arena of handlebar dimensions is a swamp with little standardization. Using the Renthal standard, here is what I get in inches:
width: 30.5
height: 13
rise: 7
clamp area: 4.5
sweep: 7.5
control length: 9
In my opinion the sweep is huge but some of it (not all of it) is needed so the master cylinders don't hit the fairing when fully turned. Can you more technically inclined verify my measurements? My plan is to go with a 7/8 bar and then shim where necessary.
