Those all have the same clamps to fasten your bars as the ones you have now. The last one should be identical to the one you have now actually.

I looked again at the link you put up for the Lane Splitter bars.They are 7/8'' bars and will bolt right in your factory clamps.You don't need to change your upper clamp. They will go right in place of the bars you have now.

As tall as they are you might need a special permit to ride that thing! Look out for low tree limbs and power lines!

Haha look at that fail on my part at 1am, I was just looking for something to replace that mickey mouse job id have to stare at as I ride 3 light indicators and a hole.
I probably could get it grind down smoothed out and painted if it comes to that Im going to have to call today and see what the stipulations are here so I dont end up building a bike I cant ride legally.

Even if i can I dont need new risers I just need to find 2 top pieces to bolt to the bottoms eliminating what you see there.

Oh,I was just kidding about a special permit,but it doesn't hurt to ask.I found a really nice set of red lens turn signals i wanted to run on mine,but found out they have to be yellow.Yeah,doesn't hurt to find out!

I didnt realize your clamps were made in to your indicator assembly.

I couldn't locate any factory replacements available new (2 individual clamps)but I did find this at vintagecb750.com      kinda cool,i think

Your fork tubes are 35mm if they are factory tubes,which it looks like they are. Sorry for the bad news bro.
