Can this 7/8 switch be opened up to fit a 1 inch handle bar with my Dremmel tool ?

I own the exact same switch and I've found for some reason if its not screwed tight all the way together it has connection issues and the switches won't always work..your better off just buying a 1 in. Switch to fit your handle bars..

No sir I cannot. The walls of the switch would be to thin to support the tightening around the bar and short out on the metal. Sorry.

without dimensions i cannot be uneqivocal but i expect it would. i put one on an adult schwinn three wheelbike with a normal sized handlebar and one on a razor scooter, and there was leeway for a larger diameter handlebar, the connector was a flexible cycolac interrupted ring that was closed with a thru screw bringing the two ends of the ring to a closed fitting ring,

As long as you have quick release you can do it easily. If you don't, it will depend on your existing bolt diameter. My road bike works, so does my mountain bike. My mountain bike does not have quick release. You can modify the receiving bolt on the device itself to fit using a Dremel tool.

Not certain. But it doesn't fit 1" diameter handlebars. It'll fit 3/4" bars.

Yes, its about the same size as standard switch. I have 2 of these in a double gang box now and fits fine.

I am not positive, but I used these on an older bike with what I would consider standard size handle bars. It is an optical illusion, when you see the clamps you will not think it will fit, but I pried the clamps open and then used a pliers to close them and they fit fine.

Well, typical handlebars are 7/8" OD and the expanding bolts will tighten up on them. I haven't measured the ID but it is probably about 5/8".If your handlebars are larger inside, like 1-1/8" OD fat bars, find something like a bit of plastic tubing or a sleeve of something that can expand when you tighten the clamp bolt. It doesn't have to be the exact size, you can slit one side of the tubing, or whatever, to fit over the expansion bolt as long as it still fits inside the handlebar end. If I have misunderstood the problem, please explain why they don't work and I will try to help. Well, typical handlebars are 7/8" OD and the expanding bolts will tighten up on them.

I just measured mine and the opening is 7/8" almost exactly. The pin is 7/8" excluding the threads but screws into the threaded 7/8" opening.

I assume you're talking about the shower bar, which this part "rides on", as opposed to the clear plastic shower holder. My Hansgrohe bar is 7/8" in diameter and is snug. It doesn't appear that a 1" diameter bar would fit.

7/8" will be perfect - (1 inch would work, but will leave a lot more space around the beer shank than you might want.)

I can't imagine why it wouldn't. You may need to adjust the front deraileur screws (depending on the size of the crank). But technically, it is just a crank lever, so it should. The handle is short, so you may want to order bar grips to cap the ends. Very easy install

The grip opens a maximum of 1 1/8 inch wide. The switch on mine hasn't failed, but if it does it is a simple matter to replace it with a better quality that is commonly available.

If the handle bar is 1", it probably would be too tight to install the grips.

I measured the maximum opening when the tightening screw engages. It was about 7/8 inch or about 22mm. You could perhaps increase this with a longer tightening screw.

It is big. 3 inches wide. But it might work. The toggle switch next to it would probably be touching the edge of the housing. You might be able to enlarge the hole and adjust the switch over a little if it was too close. There is a little play in it and the switches normally move a little side to side anyway. If there is 1 1/2 inches between the center of the controlled switch and the edge of the next one over then it might work.

I really doubt this will fit your needs. My fork was a 1 inch. So this 1 inch to 1 1/8 inch conversion was perfect for me.
