The other way is use a Revere front yoke. You do have to stand the forks a bit taller though.

I didn't like straight bars on my -1, but it's all personal taste when it comes to ergos.

Good job :)

Hi i saw at a bike show today a HONDA VT 400 bros that had standard 41mm alloy clamp to the top of the forks bars on these had a rise of about 3" and would fit strait on my cb1 without moving the forks or changing the top yoke at all and would be a good way to get a better riding position which is what i wanted still my conversion is done now

ok but it gave nearly as much rise as my conversion with a much neater look still i already had the bar risers and handlebars that i used and i only had to bore out the risers to 41mm from 38mm to fit them with a longer clutch choke and throttle cables which i also had so mine was a very cheap to do conversion which is good for my wallet all the best rick

If you want flatbars on the bike a cb400sf yoke will give this.
Bros’s have a few different height bars from what I’ve seen I expect depends on year
