Hard to say without a closeup, but they look like they have a rise. If that's the case, I would guess they are K75S bars.
(With the dash pad cobbled to fit.)

Thanks for those responses. Most interesting.
The left hand/thumb seems to be popular for tingling.
My experience has always been the throttle hand can get a wider numbness occasionally, and is why I like the throttle screw. The left has never been an issue.
Until recently that is. I'm experiencing tingling across the back of the hand at the thumb, more the radial nerve than the median. First and second fingers seem to miss out. It's felt regularly, not just when riding. Neck does ache a little occasionally, but this has never been a problem for me before. Back feels fine. I might get it looked into.

I had a couple of these made from the top clamps from a K75 for my R65. They raise the bar by about 1/2".
If you use the top clamps upside-down under the bar without the machining, you will get more rise and save A LOT at the machine shop.

She'llbe, the wife of a riding buddy (R80RT) told me "you can tell the age of a rider by the height of his windshield"

I finally gave up on my "S" bars and put F-650 bars on my R75/6. Although they are black they look ok. They sit me just up enough and are not too wide or pulled back like the standard /6 bars were. My middle back/neck pain is much lessened. I rarely had any tingling in my little fingers on that bike.
But, I am looking at raising the bars on my R65LS because after an hour or so I get both a pinched middle neck pain and the right little finger goes to sleep.
