Thanks for the reply. Have had this bike for over thirty years and was trying to put it back to stock was the reason for asking about the drag bars. Have a set with the dot 5 brake fluid sticker that are 28”. Wish I could remember where I put the oem ones.

Mine is a 1200... But, FTF [From The Factory] 27 inches... but measures 28 with the Grips/throttle assy.
the black Dot5 sticker is between 3/4 and 1" from the Clamp..
You have a very clean example... But... I do Not remember Black Cases, nor Rockers, nor Fork Lowers, I believe they were a Silver color paint

Thanks. Figured someone would mention that. Lol Yes a bit of a regret but I painted that stuff and should have left it alone or used the proper colour.

Am sure some day I will paint the parts the proper colour again. That was the problem with the silver, tried a few different ones and couldn’t get the proper shade of silver. Should have left it alone as the old paint wasn’t that bad !! Lesson learned. I have owned the bike since the late 80s and never posted a picture of it till today.
