XP200 bar diameter, 7/8?

Are the XP200 bars 7/8"?

I ask because qlink claims they are 1 inch and I think they are 7/8. I wanted to get some replacement ones and wanted to be sure that I got the correct size so I did not have to fiddle with anything once I get them in.

I guess I have some additional questions. I want basically the same shape as the stock bar, I am trying to search around and am noticing that there are hi and lo bars in addition to oversized bars and regular.

I am not sure what these bars are, so it makes it harder for me to order roughly the same thing online :/

The Q's have the 7/8 bar and hi or lo is referring to the rise or height of the bar, for instance I perfer the Honda Cr-Hi bend on my bikes. All of the bike manufature have at one time or another developed their own unique bar design and bend. Some Rm bars are very short in width and Yz ones are very wide, you can change the bar clamps like Andrew has and run the protaper 1 1/8 bars as well. Just remember that you will have to drill a hole on each side of the new handlebars for the locating tabs on your throttle and cluth side controls, check the old bars and measure twice then transfer the measurements to the new set.

The problem is that I am not seeing measurements, everywhere I have found selling bars acts like you are supposed to know what the different size codes mean. That is why I asked what the original bars were.

I found a guide, assuming I measured correctly

width: 29" 736.6mm
height: 4.5" 114.3mm
rise: 2.5" 63.5mm
clamp area width: 7" 177.8mm
sweep 4.5" 114.3mm

I am now trying to figure out which size code matches this most closely.

7/8 is common. Most bars sold would be a 7/8 diameter.

And now I am going to list what I find in case it helps others.
