Hi everyone
thank you in advance for any help or insight
I'm still assembling this 1971 R75/5
its my first beemer... so forgive me for such a novice question
I am wondering if these are the WRONG handle bars
I say this because all of my cables are short
and these are the USA long cables for the US bars
(I know because I initially bought the short bar cables and had to turn around and buy the long ones instead)
so I'm wondering if the previous owner put taller bars onto this bike
and I was hoping someone would measure their bars and give me a reference to know if I have the wrong handle bars
Here is a picture
I measured from the point where the bar passes through the clamp on the triple tree ... measured up to the point where the bar starts to bend
it roughly 7.5... or 8 inches on my bars. and to the bar bend is sorta an estimate
thanks for any input
