I threaded the end of the handlebars with a 1/2-13 tap. The coarse threaded bolts are easier to find. Also, it is easier to install the 13 tpi bolt, since the bolt grabs the threads more easily.
I used 1-inch long bolts, but I still have a lot of thread available inside the handlebars. Therefore, I am going to install either 1-1/2 inch, or 2-inch long bolts. This installation is very strong; I am pleased with the results.
