Thanks Rob. They look the part don't they, but I have bought two sets from separate sellers, and they're too big for the handlebars. I guess building the bars up somehow will help but I haven't tried it yet.

It sounds like what you bought were for H-D 1" bars?

I noticed in this advertisement that it says European bikes in the title, but in the body it says European.
That makes me think they are too small? I forget what size our handlebars are. It is 3am here, and it looks like I'll be here until the day shift arrives. The brain is getting a little foggy.

22mm.
The ones I bought were from the UK, advertised as Vintage Brit/Euro.
It's 2000hrs here, and I'm off to work, due home 0830. The world is a dark place atm.
