800mm fat bars with 1" risers with 1 degree forward angle from centre clamps...and matching fat bar grips.... as for grips the throttle holder is 27mm grip hole 25mm so a little bit of grinding and sanding needed to make it fit. the throttle grip has extra plastic around it which needs to be removed
Well done did you take a "BEFORE" and AFTER" pictures a picture from the front if you can post so we can see what it looks like with this then we can find a picture of the NK on line from the front and we can make up our own minds ... well done thanks for posting the more info this site gets the better it will become for all to read ......
Definitely a nice looking setup. I'll try to find a way to check out those bars in person.
Hi I don't have any pics of my bike from the front showing the bars but I got them next to each other...and one after they were fitted

800mm haha, really wide! Nice setup. I'll go with a 750mm Renthal Fatbar with risers and Kevlar grips.
Im thinking to make this leap too, but as i was thinking to get Rizoma Fatbar M005 it looks like it has even more back sweep (it was 27 +- 1 degree) than original bar. does anybody know or can calculate what is original bars angle? i don't want to get bar what has more angle than original.

I found mine at 0deg to layed back and moved them 1 deg forward to give the ride a more aggressive feel the bike turns a lot better, your body weight is more over the tank which helps when braking even though I use the rear brake more but to be honest anything is better then he standard bars

I just got fatbar installed, looks pretty much same as Pommie bar, this was some Chinese Fatbar with about 790 width.. and god.. I JUST HATE THEM! they are just too width and im not even a small guy!!
but at least they did not cost me much! .. Would had to kill my self if I had bought Renthals or Rizoma, just to notice that they are not good.
For the average person I really think 750-760mm bars are ideal. 790 are really for for motocross.
