Looking to get some small 1" controls for clutch and throttle. Ordered some cheapie stuff from my local harley shop and the stuff that came was huge. I have seen lots of bikes with smaller form factor controls, but can never find them for sale. Just want something really small, not the length but the overall space it takes up on the bars.

thanks hombres!
 
I've heard of people drilling out 7/8" clamps to fit on 1" bars. never tried it but it's a viable solution if the 7/8" clamp has sufficient material. There's a lot more options for small 7/8" controls too.
 
eh, got to looking at controls and drilling them out may not be the best idea.

throttle (but can be found many other places):

or for a super clean look (requires modification to bars)

clutch lever bracket:
most late model metric cruisers use 1" bars. search ebay for clutch lever brackets for some of those (i.e. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-0...torcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_1916wt_939). May even find a throttle assembly from one of those bikes that suits your taste.

I'm assuming you are not going to run a front master cylinder?
 
like these. . . ?

My pleasure.

I almost suggested Lowbrow in my very first response, but went a whole different direction. :doh:
