Handlebar Question

Aloha,
I had a question regarding handlebars. I have an 81 XJ650. I greatly dislike the buffalo handlebars that are on there now. I have been looking around for some time trying to find new bars without having to cough up an arm or a leg to get them, and have come across what-theoretically- seems like a good deal.
My question is this: I have located some handlebars pretty cheap. The thing is that they are 1" Harley bars. I know that the bars on there now are 7/8". My question is regarding the controls and the like on the handlebars. I know I would need new grips and throttle setup, but is there enough spring in the controls to accept a 1" bar? Or would I- as I suspect- need to get all new ones? Also, would there be a problem mounting these as well? I assume that I'd have to replace the controls, grips, throttle assembly, possibly cables, and with the degree of trouble I can expect mounting them, the good deal would be not that great. Just looking to pick your brains.
Thanks
Marko

If you cant find the bars you want here, then you're too hard to please!

 

Save yourself a lot of work and headaches. Buy a 7/8" bar.

 

i baught some awesome rizoma bars from www.pjsparts.com they have all sizes i baught 7/8 bars and they are great for handleing and look super cool

 

I figured they would be more headhache than they were worth, thanks guys. And with the Mikesxs link, I solved my "shifter lever is too close to the peg" problem too.

 

I have a set of flat bars that I would be willing to trade for a set of stock bars. The chrome is coming off but if you paint them black I am sure they would be okay. I can post some pics if you like.

 

Beware of the bigfoot shift lever. I tried it on my XJ and it is way too long to be able to shift comfortably at all. I wear size 13 shoes and had to switch back to the stock lever. On XS's the shift lever comes out behind the pegs, but on a XJ it is in front of the pegs.

 

If you've still got it maybe we can work a deal or something. I have ginormous feet. You know, you'd think I'd be a better swimmer....

 

Triump, I've already got some bars in the works, but if you'd like, pm me and we can work something out for my old bars.
