I am running big buffalo apes and they are not knurled. No issues. Are these bars 1.5 inches? And if so how do you mount the switches, such as horn and kill? Thanks, Chuck

Here is a pic of my 1.5 in. Carlini "Gangster Apes". you can see the hand area is 1 in. so you can use your normal controls. It is also what is called "dimpled and drilled" so that wires can easily be run inside the bars.
With bars like mine you have to have new risers, thus the chunk of raw aluminum in the photo (for another thread) Some 1.5 in. bars have 1 in. at the hands and 1 in. at the riser section as well, so stock risers can be used, but some milling may be necessary from what I have read and heard from some using them. Hope this helps.
