Handlebar question

[bigray03]

I'm out of town away from my new xs baby and surfing ebay. I'm wondering the OD size that will work with stock throttle. Thinking 7/8"?? Also while i'm at it, what size is the rear motor mount bolt that also mounts the pegs? I am missing the nut and would like another one on there.

Bars are all 7/8" on the bikes. If I remember correctly, the rear bolt is a 10mm, but I DON'T remember the thread pitch. Go with someone else on this, as I can't check at the moment.

Thanks

I thought they were 7/8" but can't check right now either. The bolt is not going any where. Manshack, said it was not on it when he bought the bike and he just never woried about it but I would like to see it there.

Changing bars?

Hi bigray,
some Harleys have 1" bars and BMWs have 22mm bars. All other bikes have 7/8" (22.2mm) bars. Your bike needs 7/8" bars. The shape of the bars is entirely up to you and what fits you as you sit on the bike. As to that nut you need, it's best you measure it with a caliper and a thread gauge to be sure of the diameter and thread pitch. Others can tell you what the fastener should be but on machines as old as ours, who knows what yours actually is?

I picked up a set of thread guages the other day, very cheap, but extremely handy.

Not sure of the nut size but here's a link to a stock replacement....http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/ya...-12248-00.html

Mikes XS

For the money Mikes XS is the place to go for handlebars. I got a set of the "Dirt track" style bars and the look great. They arnt as far back a standard bars but not as far forward as daytona bars just right in the middle.
