Modified Stock Exhaust

This is why I have learned to think for them lol. In my world which is tons of rush hour everyday, EVERYONE is going to pull in front of me or cut me off. It's me VS the rest of the idiots on the road talking on their cell phones.

oh, and the fact that my bike is yellow and I wear a bright red jacket helps some But some of them aren't going to see me even if I had a giant neon sign above my head that says LOOK AT ME! so I have to look for them and anticipate their moves. I find myself saying in my head "dont pull out dont pull out dont pull out" when I am in a position to not get out of the way safely

KZ handlebars are 7/8" diameter, that are clamped onto the stem head.
There are many different shapes of 7/8" handlebars available.
They are constructed as a single part.

"Clip-on" handlebars come in two parts, being a left handlebar and a right handlebar. Clip-on's typically attach to the tops of the fork tubes protruding above their clamps in the stem head. Or may attach to the fork tubes below the top stem.

Good Fortune!

So if the controls on our handlebars are designed for a 7/8" bar, and the clipon bars are 1" the controls wont fit will they? The ones that I saw on that website were all 1" bars, which our controls wouldn't fit on if I am correct?

There are plenty of 7/8" clip-on handlebar styles available from various sources, and which are compatible with the 7/8" controls.

The clip-on's also come in different lengths, depending on what's preferred. As with standard one-piece handlebars, clip-on's may usually be shortened to the exact length desired.

An important measurement involved is diameter of the clip-on's attachment clamp, as the clamp size must match the bike's fork tube diameter.

Many after-market clip-on sellers furnish both the clamp size and a list of the stock motorcycle models that each clamp size fits (i.e., fork tube diameters).

Good Fortune!

The average "idiot" in a car is sharply focused forward since they are driving in traffic. They also have an interior noise level of maybe 75 dBA and significant attenuation of exterior sounds unlike somebody standing in their front yard.

Out here in California, lane straddling is not always prosecuted and I see bikes coming up from behind sometimes going 80 between traffic going 60. I saw a pair of harleys coming up between lanes and I did not hear a sound until they came even with my door mirror at which point it sounded like a bomb went off.
