Default Bar size

Are most/all Dyna’s and other Harley’s have the same stock bar diameter.
Thanks

Doubt that... bet it’s tapered. Where your hand controls clamps on, it should be 1" 100%. Haven’t seen your bike, but you have a tbar right?

I have drag bars that were stock on my bike, and the risers are 1 1/4"and they don't narrow down at the hand controls. This is an older pic of my scoot and the best pic of the bars.

All HD hand controls are in size 1" except 750 street. I can clearly see where your hand control part of the bar is tapered. (maybe tapered is the wrong word to use)
I know this is not your bar, but this show what I mean:

I have the same bars on my 16, they are 1 1/4 in the riser clamps but they are 1" where the controls clamp on

Thanks for all the replies. Mine mic at 1”. No taper. What I am wanting to do is keep my adjustable risers and bring my bars about 2 inches closer to me. I have added full size boards and controls
