Does anyone know the interior diameter of the end of the drag bars on a Fat Bob? I'm interested in putting bar-end mirrors on, but need to know if they are larger than 22mm on the inside. Also if you know where I can get rubber plugs for the existing mirror holes, that would be great.
I've been reading this forum for more than a year, and you guys really help out with all your info.
Thanks

I will be installing some new grips soon (hopefully) and I can measure when I do that, but until then I am afraid I can't be of much help. I will try to remember to look for this thread when I get around to doing the grips and see if you still need an answer.
Just take your left grip off and measure it. It is only held on by the switch housings clamping around it and maybe a little glue (which you don't need).
I replaced the stock grips on my Fat Bob the first day I had it.
The bars are the same diameter at the hand grip area as all other 1" Harley bars. The diameter of the stock drag bar at the clamp area is 1 1/4"
To remove the stock grips, I used a razor knife to slice both left and right grips length ways and peeled em off with out any dis-assembly of the hand controlls. The throttle side stock grip is lightly glued to a throttle sleeve. If you want or need to remove the sleeve then dis-assembly of the hand controll would be required.
