I don't think so they dont expand enough. but you could get them and use the bushings off your stock bar weights and do it that way.

I agree 3/4" or 0.75 in. and clupman bars are 7/8" or 0.875 in.

But just to be sure I'd ask the seller if they would fit a 7/8" bar.

Or you could do like guitarking said and use your stock plug.

The club mans are 7/8 outside diameter.The bar ends go by the bars inside diameter which should be close to 3/4.So yea they should fit if they expand to 3/4.
