3" is about average for most dragbars. I have a set I bent for mine that are just at 2 3/4". That 1/4" may not sound like much, but it made all the difference to me

Oh and your centers should be roughly 5" or more

Sweet any idea for a place to get them ebay? if i did by myself whay gauge pipe u use and length?

[elevatorman71]

well if you made them the o.d. would have to be 7/8 inch so i would advise just cause i bought mine at a motorcycle shop for about 20 buh so really how much do you think your really going to save?

I got mine from JcWhitney they were like 24 dollars and seem every bit as good as any handlebars I have ever owned. I caught a special got free shipping also. I used some bailing wire and bent ot the distance and rise, and whatever the other dimension is, to get a 'feel or look' for what the bars would be like on my bike.

I put a set on my 78 GS1000. One think that I encountered was that the banjo fitting for the brake line was a little close to the triple tree. Not that it would rub but I didn't like it. Also, they were so low that my hands would go numb even on short rides. I have superbike bars on one of my other bikes and those work good for me. So, in order to raise the drag bars up around where the superbike bars are, I bought a 1" riser. It made all the difference in the world.
