Handlebar ID and swapping

<< < (2/2)

Ecks:
I like the current position for around-town cruising, but anything above 50mph and I find myself leaning down such that my elbows are below my hands.  All cables will be run externally, so no need to find anything with holes in it.

Does anyone happen to know the width of the stock UK 550/500 handlebar?  I'm tempted by this offer http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Handlebar-As-Fitted-to-Honda-CB-500-/400666200505?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item5d499109b9

...but I just can't believe that the stock 500 width was 640mm (25.2"). 

LesterPiglet:
My 550 are 29"

Ecks:
Good to know, Lester.  Better wait until I find the right size.  Might just get the DSS version, though the idea of superbike bars grows more tempting every day.
