Roger that, Brew; looks like the pukka, real-deal there!

Yep, complete with the signature: "The there is a slight twist/bend in the right hand side of the bar" note by the seller.
Apparantly the exit slot for the throttle cable creates a weak point in the bars and makes them succeptable to bending at that point from any significant impact on the bars.
Mine look exactly the same!

I have to concur; my CA95 was exactly the same! Just a slight bend (backwards) from the PO (a mate, and it was his first bike) trying to pull wheelies........!! Errrr, not possible -- 17(?)bhp and quite front-heavy.

It is if you sit on the passenger part of the seat and weigh in excess of 200#!!

Another listing that probably would work. This one would convert the throttle back to the "early" style.
