Riding my Moto guzzi California today, then getting onto the FJ, I was struck by how small a Ø the grips are on the FJ. I put barrel shaped ones on the Guzzi a few years back to make it more comfortable.
Thought I'd Google grips, seems to be the case when buying these that the clutch grip is Ø22mm, while the throttle side is Ø25mm..................... OK Ø7/8" & Ø1".
I could go out and measure them myself but it's late!... and I'm bored' so I thought I'd ask you guys. I've put replacement grips on the FJ before, can't say that I remember them being different Ø's.
Are the two sides different sizes?
They are Ø25 for throttle & Ø22mm for clutch side.

These to be precise.
Throttle side "handlebar" is longer than the clutch side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who designed that??? :diablo:
Maybe room for a throttle lock?
