Can someone please tell me the length of their handlebars from tip to tip (in a straight line not along the bars themselves) and the rise from the clamp? Mine are 70cm from tip to tip and rise about 7cm. They're also quite swept back as the photo shows. Also, can you please tell me how far your throttle switchgear clamp is from the right hand side of the right hand clock? it's back to my cable routing problem because no matter what I do the cables will not go the standard routing. have I got the wrong bars?

Ok I think I know your problem.
I have an unrestored US K3 import sitting in my garage. The cables are routed to the LHS of the tank. The bars are 75cm tip to tip and about 11cm rise. Also restoring an F1. Just measuring the opening cable, the K3 cable is about 6cm longer.
Opening cable measuring the outer: Not including the 90 deg bend the K3 is 92cm to the end of the threaded section at the carbs. My F1 cable is 86cm.
