10 Points to Best Answer. Handlebar Size on Honda VT1100C 1988?

Question

I am trying to buy new grips. What size are the handlebars on my 1988 VT1100C Honda Shadow? I don't know how to measure them...

Answer 1

I'm willing to bet 7/8" Thats pretty standard for Japanese bikes. Unless you have some kind of custom bars. You can measure with a  tape, just put it against the bar end.

Answer 2

Hand grips on almost all cruiser style bikes (including this one) are 1 in.  7/8 grips are for dirt bikes and some "crotch rockets".

According to bikebandit.com, your bike has 1" grips.  Just like mine.
