Handlebars

My steamer came with renthall handlebars, and although it looks rather sexy I think they look straighter and possibly wider and higher than the
OEM ones and need to be more pulled back, this would be confirmed by the fact that the brake/clutch resevoirs push against the screen - I can't use the steering lock.  This is only a guess as I don't know how the OEM bars actually are, but they do cause some discomfort due to an old wrist injury.  My question is... does anyone know which other tiger/triumph bars are the same height and shape as on the steamer? Does anyone in the UK have any OEM bars for sale? or a swap for my renthalls even.

I have a set that'll be coming off in Feb and a pair of matching 25mm risers, can't help you before then but they will be cheap enough if you can wait.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

I'm listening! I think I can wait til then (assuming you'll not be in Singapore in Feb) I don't know if mine still have stock clamps or not, but give me some numbers to think about. and thanks!

 :sign13 Just a thought but, do any of you know if the handlbars from another Tiger model are the same pattern/shape as the 95 steamer?

only steamers have the same bend . 93-98's
personally I think the stock bars suck .
A set of atv bars is what works the best on steamers for me ...................YMMV

Same here, i bought a set of Moose ATV bars from the USA, soooooo more comfortable than the originals.

So why do the stock bars suck? There seems to be a lot of people changing them, I thought it was just for styling.  I need the bars to have more pull back than on the renthalls fitted, due to an old wrist injury.  I looked up moose bars but not much available in the UK and shipping too high from US.  I'm guessing that ATV bars are all generally of a similar shape and not as straight as MX bars? does anyone know the width, height and pull back of the stock steamers for comparison?
