handlebars

[Stokie]

Hi I'm wondering if anyone has fitted higher bars,have not had my 400/4 long and it's a riding project with a few jobs to do but I suffer with a bad back so would like to sit up more straight when riding. Have done this with my more modern bikes and perhaps someone on here could point me in the right direction for even genuine bars off another Honda model. Thanks.

Maybe 500 US bars but you would have to extend the electric to switches and find longer control cables, not sure if there is a US version of 400

CMSNL show that they have stock of the handlebars for a USA model CB350F.  Part No. 53100333000. Don't know if it the same diameter as the 400 though, cannot find dimensions.

Stokie,
I have a US spec 350/4 and a UK 400/4, the bars are the same diameter but the clamping is different - 2 separate clamps on knurled areas on the 400 but a single clamp with idiot lights on the 350.  Can't remember if the bars are knurled on the 350 but imagine they would be.
The riding position on the 350 is far more relaxed for an old bugger like me but it's also helped with the footrests being further forward than the 400.  Cables and upper brake pipe flexy might need modding as Bryan says but the 350 bits should fit.

Thanks guys,I can handle changing the electrics and cables so it's good to know somethings out there.
