7/8" bars can be made to work on 1" risers. You will have to get or make up shims to account for the diameter difference. They have to be real good because there is alot of "push" on the bars every time you stop.

You will also have to do the same for all the things that mount on the bars..... so it's really not cost effective to use 7/8" bars.

Note: you can not put larger diameter bars on smaller risers.

Engineers design things, Technicians make them work.

I will see how close the bars I ordered are to fitting. Also, how they look will play a significant factor as to whether or not I modify the risers. I ordered a second bar that is 1" just in case. I think lower and wider bars will really make the bike feel good and look much better.
