The CBX550 handlebars are 35mm and will fit the stock 79 CBX 1000 forks. The locator pins are in a different position and may have to be removed, depending on your personal preference. The bars a re similar in height to the "Sport Kit" bars but are slightly smaller in overall design appearance, especially between the clamp and the bar section. People have used them in lieu of the "Sport Kit" units ig they couldn't find any or did not want to pay the exorbitant prices that were asked.
