[QUOTE="Buck, post: 216744, member: 2851"] so, decided it was time to update some stuff. already did the back tail lights, rebuilt the carbs, about to re-build the front brake calipers. but what comes next, need to upgrade the handlebars. they have been slightly bent since i bought the bike, and the grip strips where it mounts are pretty worn so ive been jerry-rigging it to keep them sturdy. but it is time to update them. so my question is...[b]can the regular mounting bracket on an 83 GL1100 hold 1" bars?[/b] or do i have to keep to the 7/8" if i dont want to upgrade the mount? also while looking for new bars, because i want to change the style a little bit, is there anything in particular i need to look for? like something i may be missing for bars to work? not that i will do it, but if i took some new HD bars that are 7/8" will those work?
