The bars I took off my kz13 don't have a hole on the left side although I can't be 100% certain they are the original bars. I replaced them as a didn't like the high rise.

Ok went looking after finding out mine were a tad short, the English part shop Zed-Parts.com have a good selection of bars, and I can be pretty sure they will be the right ones for the bike, now just have to decide on which one to buy, either the 4 or 4 1/2 inch rise, at least they are 32 and 33 inches wide, should give me a bit better leverage, now I just have to put the old ones back on while waiting for the new ones to arrive, cheers Pete.

Well that's a bust !!, the English mob have to charge a tad too much because of the size :-

Global Express £73.00 3 Day service

Global Priority £64.00 Tracked 5 Day service

Global Value £46.00 Not tracked longer than 10 days service

I have just about exhausted all avenues down here, I've contacted numerous bike shops, bike wreckers etc, if I had a Harley it would be no troubles, heaps around for those, but I have found a bar maker, they can make some out of stainless, trouble is they want either the bar to copy or a plan, trouble is I don't have an original set to copy or to make up plan, now I could just take the short ones off ... draw up a plan adding some to the ends to get to the width that the English one looks like .... or .... I could throw myself onto the mercy of someone here that has an original set that could draw up something that gives me the sizes and shape of an original set ???, pretty please ??, anyone here that could do that for a poor old aussie down on his luck ??, heck if I was younger i'd even offer to name my first born after them, but no chance of that (thank goodness), HELP !! , cheers Pete.

Tip to tip they are 760mm probably 5mm shorter because of the thickness of the grips.
Rise is 90mm and the centre line of the tip of the bars are 153mm back from the centre line of the clamp. The bends are as best as I can measure a 80mm radius. that should be enough to get them bent and if they say they want a drawing go somewhere else because they are idiots.
