Handlebars for Darmah

Hi,
I purchased my '81 Darmah with drag bars. Can anyone tell me the rise, pullback, etc. of the original bars or if any other bike's bars are interchangeable? It doesn't have to be exact. I'm not a purist requiring Italian air in the tires or anything like that, but close would be nice.
Thanks!

I like a EURO BEND aka SUPERBIKE bar......... available almost anywhere that has bars for sale

Bikemaster (from J.C. Whitney) makes European, Superbike, and GP Touring. They all look pretty similar to what was on the '80s sit-up-and-beg bikes like the Darmah and Kawasaki KZ's. I think the European is probably closest to what Ducati put on the Darmah. Anyway, my slightly ratty but low miles Darmah is going inside this winter for a long-overdue resto. I'll probably be posting more dumb questions as this progresses. Thanks for your expertise.

Early Monster handlebars are very close also.

You could try your luck with this eBay auction.

The seller states that posting will be only to Australia, but you could ask for overseas shipping.
