    Suzuki VL 1500 Intruder handlebar size

    Are the handlebars on the Suzuki VL 1500 7/8 in. or 1 in.? I'm looking for orig. looking bar end weights for my "91" GSX 1100 G, that to my surprise have 1" handlebars. I can find them for $39.00 ea. I see VL 1500 weights for $11.00 on ebay, & they look exactly like the GSX 1100 G weights. The part #'s are different for the two bikes, but if the VL 1500 is also 1 in. I'll take a chance. Thanks,

    The bars on my "new to me" intruder 1500 are 1". I can't swear they're stock but believe they are. Hillsy would know for sure, I suspect.

    I find working on my motorcycle mildly therapeutic when I'm not cursing.

        I don't have a clue how you found that imfo, but thanks a lot. The Intruder weights look exactly the same, on the outside, only the innards are different. Should work perfect. thanks

          I think I just googled something like "Suzuki 1500 Intruder handlebars."

            Here I am - late to the party

            Yep - they're 1" bars as you probably know by now.

            The bar end weights on the Intruder have a long bolt and a rubber insert that compresses to hold the weight in. So, if your G bars are hollow (not capped with a threaded hole), they will work.

            Part numbers are probably different because the Intruder weights are chrome.
            Current:
            Z1300A5 Locomotive (swapped my Intruder for it), GS450 Cafe Project (might never finish it....), XT500 Commuter (I know - it's a Yamaha :eek:)

            Past:
            VL1500 Intruder (swapped for Z1300), ZX9R Streetfighter (lets face it - too fast....), 1984 GSX750EF, 1984 GSX1100EF (AKA GS1150)
            And a bunch of other crap Yamahas....
