Interesting possibility....

Mountainbike handlebars have a 1" clamp size but (usually) 7/8ths grip area.

So possibly you could use a Mountain bike (or BMX) handle bar on a Bonneville and use Thruxton controls (and therefore brakes and front wheel).

I would expect the strength of mountain bike handlebars to be fine for normal motorbike road use.

Of course the pinch point is the width of the clamping area.

go on shoot me down in flames or tell me half of you have all ready tried it.

:-D :???: :-D
