7/8 Handlebar to 25mm conversion.

(1/2) > >>

Spanner1972:
I have the chance to get a set of bars that are 25mm and very expensive for a good price, but the clamp is 7/8 on my cb500 and the bottom section is built into the  triple tree. Is there a simple and easy quick fix to change to 25mm clamping or is it a non starter. Thanks.

Bryanj:
If it was the other way round you could use a collet, but that way you can't get  something big into a small hole

Spanner1972:
Yes, stumped on this one i think. Is there such a thing as triple tree with a 25mm clamp available for the cb500?

JamesH:
You could just source a second hand triple tree upper and give it to a machine shop to line-bore out to 25mm dia (or just under so you get an effective clamping force. Are the bars knurled where they are clamped?

Mike on a bike:
You can get converters, a quick ebay search turned this up, I'm sure you will find what you want if you look hard enough.  :)
