Handlebars, US Version Bend

This is a reproduction of the classic "US" style handlebar that was installed on most USA /5 and /6 models. It has a very pleasant bend and provides most riders with a comfortable, upright seating position.

Made in Germany.

Note: This is a 22mm chrome plated bar, not a 7/8" bar. 22mm is the correct size for BMW motorcycles and though 7/8"seems close to 22mm, it's in fact slightly larger and the controls will not fit.

This handlebar is not drilled for heated grips. You can still install heated grips but you will need to drill the appropriate holes.

Slightly too thick

These are good quality handlebars that are a very close (but not perfect) match to the original US bars on my 1973 R60/5. Unfortunately, they are a little thicker than the stock handlebars near the bar ends where they are a bit more than the 22 mm. I suspect this is due to some deformation when they were cut, but this is just a guess. To fit my controls, some filing/sanding was required. Once this was done, they look great on the bike.
