Default 08 Handle bar diameter?

Hey guys,

Looking for some help here. I just ordered a new Zumo 550 for my new 08 Ultra that hasn't arrived yet and want to order a new Tech Mount to go with it. I need the bars O.D. measurement before I order. What is the stock handle bar measurement? I would appreciate any and all help. Thanx.



Jeff

take a cresent (adjustable wrench) open it up and place on the bar. Then adjust to contact the bar. remove and with tape measure, measure from jaw to jaw. Be inventive!
