Got my first ride on my new SG250 today

Got my first ride on my new SG250 today. Boy is this thing geared tight. I already bought a 16 countershaft sprocket and a brand new 120 link chain knowing from my 2 TT250's how important taller gearing is on these motors. Chain and sprocket will go on tomorrow. The gearing, together with "break in" instructions, had me limiting my speed to 45mph (about 4500 rpm). Not sat.
I see the handle bars are of the tapered design. 7/8"/22mm at the grips, fatter in the middle. I have some like this sitting on my shelf. Does anyone know the diameter of the fat part in the center?
