36mm it is.

Here's the cheapest new ones I've found (81 gpz550 also uses 36mm forks).

You may have to sand a little of the powdercoat off (sometimes it's a little thick inside the clamp and on the throttle bar) to get a perfect fit, but they look good and work well.

I picked up a set of chrome clip ons for the kz 650 I have and paid around 40.00 for them shipped. Let me see if I can find where they came from again.

That's a great deal! If it was listed as 39mm, how did you know to get them?
