Would a pair of handlebars from a 73-78 Z50 fit a 69 k1? Are they noticeably shaped different?

The softtail handlebars won't have a brake lever perch on the left handlebar. I think that's the main difference.

Thanks.

Also lower and shaped a bit different. Knee knockers!

...ahh. I don't want knee knockers for sure... I may have to bite the bullet on a pair of NOS. I'm tired of gambling with ebayer's "looks straight to me" auctions..

I thought ct70 bars are taller if they fit a z50 i think it would be better for adults and still look stock.
