If I was going to get some regular kind bars, I would have gone 1.5 but because of the custom bends and points, I think 1.25 looks fine. I also didnt want to change out everything else. If you go 1.5, it is harder to find them with the 1 inch taper, and if you do, sometimes they look bigger than the grips. IMO I just like the 1.25 with 1.25 risers.

Hell yeah, thanks man. Next paycheck, I am getting the cables and hopefully the risers. What weight tranny fluid do you use? I just picked up some new grips and i got the tranny gasket comin in the mail. Hopefully next month I can get this thing turned into a monster!!!

every time I walk into the garage I throw mine on just to see how they feel and look.... They are perfect as far as I am concerned. I am sure there will be some folks that disagree, but if everyone agreed on everything, we would all be riding the same Honda....

I think I should probably change it anyway... It is 10 years old and I dont know if anyone has ever changed it.... Looking at the damn thing, and how the upkeep was on it, its probably been like 9 haha
