[Michael Connolly]

Jeff, 
Remove the sink and have a new 1-1/4" tailpiece welded to the existing sink, reinstall, presto, done!

Thanks John, 

The sink I have has the drain welded to the sink. I'd just get a new 
sink, but the hole in the counter is for that specific size sink.  It 
might be worth investigating to see if this is a standard size. It 
looks like a bar type sink. Perhaps a new sink with a smaller drain 
would be best.
