O7 & up have 1 1\4" bars at the risers, they don't reduce to 1". I put the 6" risers from Harley on mine and did not change anything. Clears the speedo with no problem. Just had to reroute a little.

Well you could always get different bars. I would have and did.
Those kits that HD are sure pricey..
That's just another one of HD's BS cost saving ideas leaving the handlebars the same diameter that costs you a whole lot more on the back end like with those riser kits $150 and $170 for risers, sheesh... Do you get lubed first?
Even Wild1's, and Cyclesmith's reduce to 1 inch.

I had the stock 4 incher's on miy softail and everyone that saw me ride said that it looked like I was hunching forward. I didn't know how uncomfortable I was until I put the 9.5 inch pullback risers on. Major change and comfort..

BTW; This is a great site for selling bike parts too..
I have sold many on here. No issues.

Thanks for the compliment d2l2r.
