43mm fork leg, approx 2-3" rise.
Even help as to what bike might have them would be useful.

Thanks Chris, I spoke to the seller but they're not suitable...As they clamp below the top yoke they're not high enough. To put them above the yoke would need 40mm of fork tube...bit much.

I thought they might be a little too cafe racer, but they were the right size and a "classic, rare" item!

Yeah, classic as in heavy duty lump of steel tube.

I've got Tingates on my Katana, they're lighter than stock Kat clip ons which are solid aluminum, they're thin walled and the clamping screws are only M6, big difference in comfort cause they're higher wider and flatter, see pic.

Cheers Jimbob, but these ones will be fine.
The ones you're thinking of are Jota bars. I used to have a set years back...fully adjustable but christ they were heavy.
With these ace bars I can drop them low for straight line racing.

I am amazed how these new bars have transformed the bike...I've been harder through the bends than ever possible with the old 'uns..
Must be to do with the 'parachute' effect of the riding position.
