Hey guys,
Finally got my rebuild turned over and sustaining which is awesome - thank you for everyone's help on here! Electrical problems solved.
Next up is controls. No bushings came with the bike (it was just clip on handlebars). I want to add bushings, risers and some nice classic style handlebars. I've been looking online and I've found the following:

Now being that I'm new and I don't have the original bars or risers to figure things out before I buy this stuff I'd like to check with you guys...slot the bushings into the triple tree, attach risers to bushings with hardware threaded through the center of the bushings, clamp to 1" handlebars. I don't think I see any compatibility issues here with my hardware of choice?
One last thing, 7/8" vs 1" handlebars...which is the better call?
Thanks guys,
D.
