    Measureing OD of case gaurds

    Is there a proper way to measure the O.D. of case guard tubing.Been looking at some Küryakyn offsets that would get a set of pegs further forward.But not sure what size the guards where i would mount is.

    Thanks Nate

    Yes, with a caliper. Harbor freight has cheap ones for a couple bucks.

        Take a flexible tape measure and wrap it around the tube and measure Circumference then divide by 3.14.

        Circumference / PI (3.14) = Diameter .

            Pie are gone soon as they made.

            Circumference / PI (3.14) = Diameter which i would get the same reading with a PI tape?
