Anyone have a spare 7/8 bar lying around?


So my bar is bent from the bike being tipped over. It's not too bad, but seems to be about 1/2 inch closer to the tank on the left than on the right when turned all the way to each side.

The bitch of it is that I have a track day coming up this Monday. I'd really rather have a strait bar if possible... so if you have some sort of a 7/8 bar lying around that would fit my Z, please let me know and I'll buy it off of you or borrow it if it fits...

Thanks

Clip-ons won't do, unfortunately... it has to be a bar that gets clamped. A dirt-bike bar would do, even... but I think just about any 7/8 bar could fit. Be it from a bandit, an SV650, a ninja 650R/750S, etc...

Well, I called up bikeworx. Galen said he'll get a few bars in by Friday... so I'm hoping to stop by there and find one that'll fit nicely.

I really want to murder the cocksucker who tipped my bike.

Not advised as it'll take the temper out of the bar making it weaker .
