Any recommendations for a top triple clamp to convert to regular bars on an Fj1100? Any other bike with the same measurements or a good aftermarket option.

I've used one of these top yokes > https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/287333153199?_skw=2010+xj-6+top+yoke&itmmeta=01KRV930RYY7X9AVRWBVV83ZK7&hash=item42e663f9af:g:MqQAAeSwi69qBxJV&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xCrYciABctoufTmNCRZAABgDNMh%2FZhPjtKx5t43B0jQ3DtthQc7QWLCYLIaQvGYdpw6ogo9GIgqUYWglPmVmDKM4zIVjtFK8mwLPg9ggMl9%2FVg6u1NBU6P9M82vZWLKd136Mxp%2FvXwhMY7D96%2FohWMqw4%2BWuxRIvh%2BsIxuyKuLUWEjTcU9aZ2wWm0cWyAs15iivyieuuJWM%2Bi9zfH1Zwf%2FH3Eym6MVZbKTYaVQijTHbK6RgIk8mSm6pETAP56e4ezU1EGWBDoxyIJFPb959b%2FjiyoLqdARM7pjXdmOwBNCbwQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR96MjOnGZw
Same 41mm leg diameter and spacing. Obviously this one is in Poland and others can be found cheaper.
I then used some Renthal flat handlebars. On my latest FJ i've turned the handlebars round so they don't hit the inside of the fairing.
Oh yeah, and don't be fooled into buying early Diversion top yoke because that will not fit, it needs to be the model from round about 2010. HTH.

Indy,

ABM makes a nice billet top fork clamp (steering crown) for about US$ 350.00 which is about half of the cost of the expensive option from Europe.
Bolt-on handlebar adapters start around US$ 15.00 but if I used them, I'd want a heavy washer above and below the OEM steering crown on the mounting bolt.
7/8" (22mm) aftermarket handlebars will work with all of your OEM grips and switches. You will have a great many choices for hand positions, with aftermarket handlebars.
Cheers,
Red

P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.
