I've been looking for new bars as well and came across these measurements of the stock bars on a website a while back. Unfortunately, I don't remember which site it was so I can't vouch for their accuracy

Speed Triple ‘02/05
Diameter 7/8"
Height 3-1/2"
Width 28-1/2"
Pullback 8
Center 6
Clamp Area 2-3/4 x 4-1/2

I wanted to move farther forward w/ straighter wrists and a slightly lower position. I just ordered a set of Rizomas hoping that it will make a noticeable difference in the first two factors even though it probably won't be noticeably lower (just 0.3")

If I still need to get a little lower, I might consider new risers. Does anyone know of a riser w/ less rise that will fit our bikes? I took mine off my '03 to measure this weekend and if I remember correctly, it came out to 41mm from the bottom of the riser where it rests on the triple clamp to the lowest point on the top of the riser (where the bottom of the handle bar would sit.)

If you want to go even lower and don't mind a non-traditional look, you should take a look at this aftermarket SV650 bar: http://www.suburban-machinery.com/sv650.htm Several people on the board have put the type2 bar on their S3s.
