    easier to stay with the 7/8 bars... ebay or jcwhitney has plenty of selection.

    why is it such a problem to convert to a 1 inch bar? I just want the basic controls anyways. if I could get a clutch and throttle I would be fine.

    Harley stuff is the only bars with 1" stock or go after market.
    But what about electrics and mounting, what have you done about that?

    I was able to grind the mounts slightly and it mounts just fine. I think I could dremel the turn signal control to make it fit but I need to look at it. I think I found a throttle and I think I found a way to keep the stock clutch by modifying the mount.

    Before I start a project I like to get all the pieces I need before beginning.
    This is mainly because I cant go very long with out riding.

    In your case I guess Ebay or Craigslist would be your best bet.
