Can anyone tell me what the bar diameter is on a Z50A K3 - 78? The lock is frozen on my shed and I can't get to the bike.

Thanks,

Rob.

im guessing 7/8" but i dont know much bout the Z50's

I thought all the Japanese stuff was 7/8" and Harleys were 1", but that's probably too easy. Pretty sure Z50s are 7/8", though.

Yup, Any Z50 is 7/8 like pretty much any dirt bike does. Cubs and XR50/CRF50's use 3/4" bars, which is why most guys run big bars on their CRF50's.

I've picked up a Lifan 125 to swap in, it's a 4 speed so I'll need to run a clutch lever (NO room for jockey shift, yeah I actually thought of trying it

). Does the CT70 HK0 use the same bar as the K3 - 78 Z50A?

I don't think so. CT's should be longer/taller. I read somewhere (hooper imports maybe) there were Chinese re-pops available without the perches.

Crap. All the good parts are south of the border. Shipping/brokerage fees eat all your funds as a Canuck with a penchant for minis.

I bought an excellent set of CT bars from here in good ol USA (but they came with perches). Sadly they are no longer available.

1. Cut off the perches
2. 12V JDM AB26 Dax Bars have no perches. I run these on my 1993 CT project.

Shift-up and g-craft also make aftermarket bars that are as tall as OEM CT bars.

What is the benefit of aftermarket bars? G-Craft bars are adjustable right?

G-craft bars are more of the monkey height and can be adjusted at different angles. Shift-Up bars look more like OEM early 6V bars and are parallel to each other.

Shift-Up Bars:
