I am looking at buying some minor accessories for my '99 Adventurer and was wondering what the sizes are for the following items:

handlebars: 7/8?
rear view mirror mount: 10mm?

Also, can I just put normal aftermarket handgrips on this bike, or does it need to integrate the throttle cable? Doesn't the TBird grip work well?

Thanks!!!

Spider, you have the measures right. Any grip in the 7/8" variety will work for you, but you'll probably have to modify the throttle tubing a bit (ie remove some of the plastic)

I know, 'cause I ordered some standard bonnie grips only to find out they're actually 1". Needless to say, after some scratching of the beard I used a fair amount of duct tape. Works really well.

But you'll be getting proper 7/8" grips of course .

With 25mm cross handelbar you see on my album (downlinked) all was right with original lenght, (except little gas turning right) but... :razz:
