eay way to tell

if your bars next to your switches near the grips go up in diameter then you have 1.25 bars

if they stay the same you have 1 inch

Thanks for that information. I'd noticed that increase in size - the first time I've seen that......and they are beefier bars than I've had in the past.

You mention you didn't have to replace wires, or cable. when installing the new 4 inch riser. Is this on an ABS model? I have a 2012 Slim with ABS looking to install riser to make it a little more comfortable.
