I've often wondered. My old GT 4 piece bars were apparently 8" rise but were definitely bigger than the 8" rise Berringer bars I've got now.
I remember the 9" and 10" GT power series bars back in the 80's were massive !

I even got two spirit levels & tape measure out to try and get an exact from mid bar out to match it to the top centre of grip level.
The nearest i could get to 7" on the wing bars would coincide with Kev's pic in as much as the 7 is where they start to bend out from the centre of the stem clamp area.

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
