Maxwell - this confuses me, as, according to my B&C Express Renthal Chart, the Streetfighter "789" bar is 755 Width, 100 Height. My OEM is 775 Width, 100 Height minimum (SEE BELOW)..........so your Renthal Streetfighter would be the same height and narrower compared to my OEM handlebars.

I have drawn two conclusions so far, (1)that the OEM handlebars vary, (2) that measuring the OEM handlebar is tricky, and incorrect measurements can be taken when doing comparisons. My measurements of the OEM height varied between 100 and 115.

I spent a while trying to get accurate measurements, but I can honestly say I'm not 100% sure that they are bang -on.
