How wide should they be

Post by Cagivabaz »

My Cagiva Raptor 1000 had the handle bars changed by a previous owner and they are too narrow.
Does anybody know what the standard width handle bars are for a Cagiva Raptor 1000?

The normal unfaired rappy is 72cm.

The V-rap with horns is 75cm.

Had same problem so now have both types of OEM bars :P

Cheers, Bfef.

I'm most comfortable with enduro bars. throttle cables get little stretched, but not a problem.

If you've got a naked Rappy any bars will likely fit, might have to hacksaw off a couple of inches.

If you've you a V-rap be extra careful with positioning as the clutch adjuster and brake fluid reservoir catch the horns when turning.

If you need more measurements let me know!
