Xs850

Am I measuring something wrong? I want to acquire a seat hoop for my 1980 Yamaha XS850, and I'm coming up with an OD of 3/4". Every hoop I see offered is either 1" or 7/8.
 
If the XS has a bolt on hoop/rear subframe its generally smaller diameter than the main frame diameter. A pic would be helpful.

Hurco550 on here has been working on some custom frame hoops, he may be able to help you out.

The bike was modded before I got it. The frame was cut just behind the shock mounts, and that tubing is 3/4".

Yes. Yes I am measuring something wrong. SMDH
Actually, I'm reading my calipers wrong. I have a 1" OD tube.
D'OH!
