Roger, getting the exact replica's is not easy.
There is usually three or more dimensions to consider.
Dia of tube, width of bars, rise and pull-back.
I think the "rise" on the standard bars for the Z1 and Z1A is 5 inches. I understand the Z1 B did have an option of lower bars.
The rise is critical because of its effect on the length of clutch and throttle cables.
Have a check through the usual Z1 part catalogs/ sites. They may nominate the "standard" bars. Kawasaki does still make them at a co$t....$$$$!
