Default FXDF handlebar thickness?

Are they 1.25" or 1" in the clamp area? I haven't taken them off to look, but man it's hard to find 1.25" pullback risers.
Thanks.

I should probably clarify on the risers. Ones that fit 1.25" bars are hard to find.

I though most if not all 1.25 bars 1" at the riser and at the controls?

I have looked at the Wild1 risers. Those are all for 1" thick bars. The actual riser post is 1.25" though. I guess it will just be a matter of time. I would like to go an inch or 2 higher than stock and maybe 2-3 inches pull back. Something like that and still be able to use the stock cables.

you may just be the perfect candidate for some t-bars that will do just that.

Yep, that's probably my best option. Do you have any idea how much slack is typically in the control wiring?
