I noticed the bars on my Sportster also have indentations for the cables to enter the switch housings that you won't find on a run-of-the-mill round bar.
No not correct. Kawasaki for instance uses 7/8", 1", 1 1/8" and 1 1/4. Totally bike dependant.

I believe HD handlebars are 1". Just keep in mind that if you change out your risers, you will likely need to relocate/change out your speedo.
