    but that will work for the xj650rj...

    i have drag bars on my bike. i love them but on the clutch side, right where the clutch cable meets the control part... it hits my tank. ive already accidentally gave my tank a tiny dent and a severe little cracking of paint off of it. also before that hits it pushes my choke on as well. i cant rotate it up anymore because to the brake line on the opposite side. all i need is like an inch, possibly even less, to avoid this.

    Those are for 1" bars.

    Just "Google" "handlebar riser 7/8" bar" they're widely available.

    I have 1" bars on mine, bought HD risers and drilled (very very slightly) to open the holes up, mounted up like a charm. However, in retro, wish I had stuck to 7/8", but I'm okay with it.
