Default F3 Handlebar Diameter

well, i think i may have goofed up, i bought a set of handle bar grips, but i got the 1 inch diameter, and im thinking i should have gotten the 7/8. will the one inchers work on the F3 bars, is there maybe a mod or fabrication that will make them work? or should i just cancel my order asap?! theyre really cool looking, chrome billet that looks like spikes. man i hope i can use them cus i got a great deal on em. thank you for any assistance

Check the listing but most come as a left and right. Their mated to be a 7/8" and 1",
since the bars are different sizes, too.

On a different note, I'm gonna recommend that you re-consider the spiked bar-ends.

They can dig in on pavement and cause the bike to tumble, instead of sliding. If you
ever go down, you risk causing more damage to the bike. Bar-ends should be rounded,
for that reason. Sometimes, practical should weigh over aesthetics.

thank you for your speedy response. i cancelled the order, and now im looking at some luckybike grips, rounded ends and much cheaper, still not as pretty as those spiked grips though, lol.

Check out Renthal's stuff. Kuryakyn and Driven make some hip ones, too.

i decided on cancelling my cancellation, lol, and going ahead and picking them up, the price was too good to refuse. so if they do happen to be too big im hoping someone knows a quick fix to make em fit, im already thinking electrical tape to increase the width. haha, i think i may have even done that once as a young punk kid. i tend to use the old, "if it dont fit, force it!", mentallity, sometimes the best innovations come about that way, or so it seems

Take it easy Snake, or is it Pliskin? To each his own. Beside riding our bikes, modding them is almost as much fun.
