i carefully read all the posts in this thread. Before, i was happy with my Yambits handle bars, only noticed sitting too much forward...
After Yammiyammie´s post, i noticed how far from original this aftermarket bars are, so i looked for used bars to re-chrome.
Yesterday it arrives from US, announced as "taken from a 1974 DT 250, what parts no is the same as for my 1875 DT 250.
Hope it´s true, seems a bit narrow to me,
Width is around 74 cm /29 Inch.
Could somebody please let me know, it this is correct ?
Thank you in advance.

Service manuals have dimensions and drawings.Looks like levers are the widest part?  But they don't hang off that much.  74-75 are the same width.

My guess is what you received are either not original or have been cut down...

Thank you, Mark.
A bit disappointed, nobody could do a quick measurement on his DT
Anyway, the right width is 82cm.
I added 4 cm each side to get the right width, and brought it to re-chroming .
The shape of the middle section seems to be the same as the OEM.
