Yes... and they are not a standard shape.
80mm between clap centres, is about 15mm narrower than usual.
aprox 125mm in te flat of the camp area between bends, they are unusually narow in the centre, most after-market bars are apox 25-30mm wider between them bends
The 'rise' is aprox 2" or 50mm. thats the hight of the handles from the yoke. That's pretty 'flat', CG bars have almost double that rise, more usual for a road bike is around 2"
They are aprox 650mm in a straight line, from bar-end to bar end, again 'narrow', more usually they, will be around 700mm or an inch longer.
'Pull-Back', which is how far the ends of the bars are from the straight line through the clamps is approx 120mm, which is quite tight, and tucked.
Its about the same angle as a 700mm bar with about 180-200mm of pull-back.
Diameter is 22mm or 7/8" standard size.
If you are looking for direct replacements, you wont find them listed in many places, and where you do they'll be expensive.
Work to dimensions, I can give you an e-bay seller with lots of alternatives and a very close match for bars at about £25
If you are thinking Ace-bars..... as earlier suggestion, on another post, the clocks are wide on the Super-Dream and clerance to the brake master-cyle reservoir tight, plus it has a high head-stock, and dropping the bars you are likely to run into clerance probs around the tank.
Standard bars are pretty good, and were, in the day, a common fit to other bikes to drop, lower and narrow the bars fopr a more sporty rding possition, without the compromises or hassle of full Ace's......
On Snowie's superdream, bars we've just got her have a slightly smaller rise, are slightly wider between the clamps, and slightly longer in the grip, but wioth aprox the same pull-back....
The dimensions are very small, and visually very subtle, but the 'feel' a lot different, the extra width between the grips makes the bike feel bigger, and the steering lighter and more precice.... ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!
