Just a quick question. I'm under the impression that a K100LT ABS front fork diameter is 41.3mm which is equivalent to 1 5/8" (Haven't had a chance to measure mine yet). I have also found that clip on handlebars come in sizes like 41mm or 42mm not in between. So I tried to search for 1 5/8" clip ons but they seem to be called equivalent to 41mm not 41.3mm. This made me think maybe the 41mm would simply just fit on my bike, has anyone tried this and what did they do? I also know that people have explored the use of a 0.2mm+0.5mm shim if they go the 42mm clip ons however I'm struggling to find where you can buy such shims. My other solution was to simple sand the inside because I'd only have to take of 0.15mm from all the way round. So any thoughts? would I be better of buying 41mm and making it fit by sanding it or 42mm and using shims??
