Default Handlebar clamp size on Road King Special?

Is the clamping area 1" or 1-1/4" on the Road King Special? Trying to sort out purchasing some bars but I'm unclear whether I need clamps or whatnot to make something work.

Thanks in advance.

Standard size/stock is 1" clamp . Bars typically 1 1/4 to 1 1/2". Factory 47 is one that makes the larger diameter, can't think of the other but adv something I think. Nice stuff but pricey. Plenty of good bars out there much cheaper.

Clamp size on the Road King Special is 1.25"
KST bars are 1.25
Factory 47" need a clamp adaptor

Great - Thanks guys. Was looking at Carlini's so this means I can run the 1.25 non-stepped ones. Cool.

Looked around and found these bars for much less than factory 47 or wild ones

Did you use the wild one riser that is specified for the Road glide? I don’t want to use adapters and I have the same problem, but everyone’s 1 inch riser specifies only the Road glide
