Size of Bars

**peabo2k** · 03-02-2010, 09:58 AM

I wanted to confirm that the size of the handle bars are 7/8".

I saw this posted on here a few weeks back but could not find the link. Can some one confirm the size of the bars. I want to add chrome risers but am not sure of the size I should be looking for on ebay.

Thanks.

They are not 7/8"!! They are 1". I believe HD bars are 7/8".

Thanks for your time.

On my '08 Nomad
1 inch for handle bars
1-1/8 for bars in front of Saddle Bags
1-1/4 for engine crash bars

A Very easy way of determining bar or pipe size is to snug an adjustable wrench up to the bar and remove it. Next take a tape measure and read the distance between the jaws.
