CB750 Barn find project - First Timer
Chris400F:
What about bars off a different model, say a 400? These are pretty low rise and the standard wiring is internal so the holes are already in place.

If I use a Stanley blade I use it mounted in one of those handles they make for removing paint from window panes. But go gently.

I thought about that to be fair but after a little research some people say they find them too narrow for the bigger bike. Would be ideal though do get some ready drilled for the wiring!

They are quite narrow, not sure of the exact width without measuring.
Maybe the bars from a larger UK spec bike, say a 750 F1, would do. Pretty sure they would be flatter than the ones shown in the photo of your bike at the start of this thread.
DS sell replica ones, you could have a look there.

Yeah the euro spec 750k bars are much lower than the US mini ape hangers! Still a little higher than I'd like though.
I'd like to end up with a front end that looks similar to this:
