Does anybody have a good source for an accurate DT, RT handlebar?
I have searched high and low but cannot seem to find anything that is actually close to the correct angle of the oem bars.
The bars on ebay that are from Thailand look really close but I am very hesitant to order something from Thailand...
Thanks for any leads.

Check out the early XT500 reproduction bars from thevintagespoke.com . They may be close to what you're looking for.

Yes, I know no knurling for the mount, but the price was right and they look close..

Thanks for all the replies.
Camp3, if you would give us some feedback on the Emgo bars when they come in, that would be most appreciated.
If they are not a good match, I will probably fall back on the XT500 bars that KennyV posted a link to previously.
Thanks again.

I personally don't like the stock "sweep back" and prefer a straighter bar... If you like the stock bend there is a Fly Racing vintage bend aluma-steel bar for like $25 that many love and use and is supposed to be very close to original bend. Local shops near me have them in stock.

Here's one link... available a lot of places.

I had a straight pair of handlebars and had them re-chromed because my 250 deserved it, pricey, ouch!

I like these bars, I used them on my DT360, Bultaco. I found them locally, like MarkT says $25.
Thanks Mark

Try Charlie Lacy @ The Cycle Center (540) 825-5544. He had U.S. made reproductions of the early DT1 bars.

Talked with Charlie, he seems to be a very nice and knowledgeable guy.
He is currently out of those bars that he was having made.
Told me to circle back in a few weeks after he had a chance to see if he could get any more made.
Thanks
