front bar: 1" FM -> 1-1/8" RB - fitment?

Would it be safe to say that if a 1" FM bar fits now, the RB 1.125" one will fit too?

I've got a TDR i/c which relocates the radiator down, and the fattest fans Spal make. I have a 1" radiator for now, and I anticipate upgrading to one of the new crop at some point (i.e. Trackspeed, or FM or BEGI)/

I have the 1.25 bar and a koyo "small" 37mm radiator and there's plenty of room. it sits almost directly in front of the crank bolt with enough room for a 1/2" socket wrench to be squeezed onto the crank bolt.

Though moving the radiator down... I could see problems with fans.

Running FM 1", 57mm koyo, spal fans (one big fatty, one slim wonder) and its a royal PITA to get a socket onto the ATI super damper.
