Quick question, maybe someone already has measured the diameter of the stock C5 handlebar grips, for a throttle lock or CrampBuster or whatever...

How thick is the throttle grip?

TIA,

The handlebars are 7/8". The throttle obviously is bigger, about 1". If you buy a pair of grips for 7/8" bars one of them will be bigger for the throttle.

I should have prefaced in the original question that I know the bars are 7/8", and yes I know the throttle grip is larger. I'm going to fit Fiona out with some form of throttle clamp or wrist-rest, but since I'm nowhere near her at the moment, I can't measure her myself.  Thanks to Royalista for the 30mm reply.
