The Norton Commando UK-specification Roadster models with drum brakes were specified with a lower rise and narrower handlebar. This is a reproduction of the sports handlebar fitted to the earlier Commando models destined for the European market, but can likely be fitted to other makes and models set up for use with a 7/8″ diameter handlebar. May not be suitable for use with the bulky front brake master cylinder and switchgear arrangement found on the later disc brake Commando models.
This chrome-plated handlebar measures approximately 28″ wide, with an approximate rise of 3-1/2″ and 3″ of pullback.
The narrower and lower-rise European bend lends itself to a sporting riding position and is suitable for use on the earlier Commando models without Lucas switch consoles.
The handlebar is mounted to the top fork yoke with clamps, which must be removed from the top fork yoke to facilitate handlebar replacement. Attention must be paid to the length and routing of the control cables when fitting the handlebar, particularly when retrofitting the handlebar to a non-stock application.
Please note: Due to varying bans on the use of hexavalent chrome in the chroming process, this item will have varying appearance different than OEM standards. Chromers are frequently using trivalent in their processes. “It’s just not the same color. Hexavalent has that clear blue sheen, but trivalent is more grayish and smoky. Trivalent will not replace the look of hexavalent.”
