    Handlebar size???

      There were a few different styles, but all were 7/8" diameter tubular bars until the XJ came out with adjustable cast aluminum bars.

          Might mention that the Specials' rototiller pullbacks are made with extra heavy section tubing to prevent flex on those oh-so-long-and-wide bars. Still 7/8" diameter though...

            There might be a problem with the wires from the control from a standard reaching on special bars.
