chobeman74 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I have a 1975 Yamaha mx 400. The handlebars that were on it when i bought it are from a much smaller bike. Im trying to find out the width and rise of the factory bars. There is a motorcycle salvage yard nearby with unmarked vintage bars. I'm trying to find the right bars or something very close to factory size. There is some nice bars from a 78 Yamaha dt 175 that are in good condition but im not sure if they are close in size. Help me guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some renthal vintage bend bars Are you looking for NOS Yamaha bars or a suitable replacement, If you want NOS I can find you some but if you are not restoring the bike I don't think they will be worth the price. The bars you are looking were used on the DT2 MX, RT2 MX, Both SC500 Models, YZ, 100,125, MX 125 C Models,MX 250 A, MX 360 A or you can have a set made and chromed for $250.

Most all sellers want to make sure they have good feedback. If you are not going to bid on them I may go after them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
