Handlebar clamp spacing

Can someone tell me the distance, center to center, between the handlebar clamps (US RZ350)? Thank you in advance! :smt039

With a bar, that varies for the rider. Cut for comfort. You'll have to grab the bar and decide what works for you. Most people don't cut, or shorten bars. I was a motocrosser and always cut my bars to where I felt most comfortable. The limiting factor is the switch and clutch perches. They obviously have to fit.

Oooops, I missread your question. Sorry about that.

Thank you guys for the help. I have been too busy to work on my "Some assembly required" project, but little bits here and there are a step in the right direction.

Thanks again
