    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can anyone tell me what the handlebar diameter for bars from a 1979 550e are?

Looking at a set on e-bay right now, looking to get something a bit lower/sportier than my stock 1981 550t bars, but nothing super radical. Want to make sure the bar diameters match before I spend too much money on these things.

Thanks in advance!!

Most of the Jap bikes are 7/8", Harley's are 1", and there are some of the Vulcans and a few other cruiser type bikes that use 1" bars but they are the exception rather than the rule on Jap bikes. On European bikes there is a real mix and I actually had a few that had 1/2" bars and some that were almost 7/8" but not quite.
