Well, my problem is that I don't have calipers to measure correctly. What I did was took a piece of wire and wrapped around the bar and then measured that. I got a circumference of 3.75 inches. I then took the formula for the the circumference of a circle and transposed it to get the Diameter---D=Pi*D and then got 1.19 inches. So now I am wondering if it's 1 1/16 or 1 1/8 which is closer to what I figured.
This sucks because I don't want to be wrong.
I was going to go with the 1 1/8 measurement until red82GT said that.
