my splendid adventure with mx dirtbike handlebars on my ninja

[rabies]

bot some bars and clamps. replacing clipons.
my plan was to use one of the existing handle bars bolt holes


as u can see the fork tube raised up and in the way. but the mount will hav to be shaved on the side




forks will hav to be dropped back down obviosuly to clear bars




thats all i hav right now. il finish it 2moro. i hav to tap the other side. if i dont like it this way. il take off the top tripple n drill the top surface part to use.

I can't wait to see what it looks like after you are done with it. So far I like it.

Alright, now I certainly would not want to disuede you from doing your mods to that 250, but the question in my mind about the bars is Why?

[csmith12]

Comfort, feel and farkles are a few of reasons to do this. You making a street fighter out of your $200 bike?

Same reason people get bar risers.

I see you bought a key for your 250 off ebay. I'm glad to see it worked as I ordered mine and didn't realize they had not listed our pregens on the auction when I bought them.

Rabies is there anything you won't mod on your bike? You've taken a saw to that thing (literally and figuratively) in what feels like 2 weeks. .

^ i jus cant leave things alone.
the stock handle bars were awkward. the clip ons were torture on my spine (back surgry last year)
the key i got on ebay. truevalue cut it for me. i bought that extra cuz it will be cut and brazed...to a switchblade
$200? i got it for $1200. i seen that thread of the $200 ninja. thats not mine.
yes streetfighter/super moto ish.... not what you can call it. i call it a mutt.
tonight il get it finished. then il get that dampner worked out.

Cool! Sorry for the mix up on who owned what bike in what thread. I blame the liquor. hahahahahah

Can't wait to see the finished bike. In ky we call em frankenmobiles when you put parts on a bike/car that comes from another.

[Panda]

Ahh, I see, well that explains it now doesnt it?

[rabies]

last night took forever to finish. it paid off. its very very very worth it. theres alot more control and less wobble. and my back is ok with it.
dirty bars compared to the stock bars. my hands are out farther. they are flatter and a tad higher.
they say from research with other bikes long cables are needed. not with my bike. every cable was fine other than i routed the cables/wires on the inside of the forks. and the front brake line is already SSbraided. in the other thread the guy said his oem brake line was too short.
so buy some brackets and bars for under $50.

wel..heres the pics.
so i lowerd the front of my bike more

jk


for the life of me i couldnt get the forks back up even with all teh screws out. my back couldnt do it. so i jacked it up ghetto style


bars will hit ignition?... :/

so i went to drill out the security screws in the igntion and they started jus untreading

i made these brackets real small and simple. so the ignition can be canted out away from teh bars.



i took me forever to grind down teh mounts jus right without destroyign them
finaly got that done and bolted down the clamps. and slipped on controls


arnold peeking over my hideous headlight




oh and i finished my seat

Your bike looks better with the MX bars! Nice work!
