Scrambler stock handlebar specs?

Hi all,
I'm wondering if someone knows the specs on the stock Scrambler bars? I can get a width measurement easily enough, but the other measurements (rise, height, pullback) are not as easy with the bars on the the bike and controls in place. I had found the specs for the Bonneville bars, but have yet to find them for the Scrambler.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks.

Why ? - they are rubbish.

Chuckem.

I do have a set in the shed that I will measure up as best I can if nobody has them handy.

Cheers

PfM,
Thanks for the reply.
I actually like the riding position that they provide, so wanted to replace them with something similar, but in black with a welded cross brace (personal aesthetic preference while still maintaining ride position). Though I do like the look of lower bars, I worry they may lead to discomfort on longer rides.

Not sure you would find anything similar. They appear to have almost no pullback.

I replaced mine with some aftermarket ones described as "British Touring Bars" which are basically the same as the ones on the 60's models (not the American bars though). I am 5' 10" and find them fine comfortwise and much more pleasing to mine eye.

I'll measure.

OK, not sure about the proper way to measure these, so here goes:
(Dimensions in old money)

Height to end of the bend (from bottom of tube) - 5
Height at end of bar - 7
Width tip to tip - 31.25
Pullback to centre of tube - 2.25

You would be able to get what they call "high bars" for an enduro bike (xr400 say) with similar width and height, but I am sure the pullback would be more....which is a good thing.
Try Renthals

PfM,
Much appreciated, thanks!
I agree with your recommendation on possible replacements, that's where I'll start.

Thanks again.
