Ok, so I am definitely jealous. AND you guys get all of the cool cars we don't get here too! I am pretty sure I would kill someone in order to be able to get my hands on a Holden HSV Maloo R8 or even a Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst Edition...

So I just got in touch with Hill Country Customs. Like I mentioned earlier, I remember the conversation when I ordered the bars about the knurling. Anyhow, they told me now that NOONE makes a true 1 1/4" bar (1 1/4" at the risers), with knurling because the extra surface area eliminates the need for knurling... Now, I know this not to be completely true from my searchings online, but anyway, I called out to LA Choppers. LA Choppers also said that the 1 1/4" bars with 1" riser area HAVE the knurling, but the true 1 1/4" bars do NOT have knurling as it is not necessary.
Anyone here have experience with 1 1/4" apes around here? My thoughts are this... I mount them up with the stock risers. If I have a problem with slippage, I can change out the risers for a riser set with more surface area, like a full top clamp... I am now being told by two different places that the 1 1/4" bars do not need the knurling...

Thought about that... That is something I would have to do after I ride with the bars in place for a while anyway, to make sure I like the angle they are at... If I find that they are not slipping and I am confident without it, then I wont even worry about it... Otherwise, yes, this is a great way to guarantee no slippage. I will see how it plays out!
