Seriously though, there are clearance issues. You need the risers or drop the front and mount above the triple.

If you don't want to ever worry about the clearance of the stock bodywork and tank, get the 2.5 risers.
If you want to go lower a bit of customization here and there will be required.

Ok and this is probably a stupid question but when people say triple tree it's pretty much the plate that sits right below my handle bars

No such thing as a stupid question.
But yes, that is the top of the triple. It has two parts, an upper and lower. The stock bars bolt to the top triple.

Great ok so the 2.5 rise bars will be below the triple and not have Any clearance issues. Is that what you have on your 250

Ummm... not quite.
I have the 2.5 risers yes and the woodcraft clamps do go under the triple but once the risers are installed and the bar put in the riser, the bar itself will be above the triple (and other bodywork & tank). Mine looks like this; If you search around on here, there are other pics from others.

I have been thinking of getting Woodcrafts myself
I had a brand called Mazriano that went on top problem was it required dropping the fork tubes .75 inch which affected teh steering geometry too much. So off they came. Sometimes I wonder/consider the type like Tyga makes which use the stock mounting holes but do not need to drop forks...Also final position looks about same as woodcraft if run with no spacer under. Beet also makes one similar ( the all black pic below ) What do you guys think? |

Looks pricey though as 24k Yen = $235 USD But the Tyga is $165 http://tyga-performance.com/site/pro...oducts_id=3296 |

Im guessing those Beet bars pictured are not the ones for the Ninja 250. I dont see how they would work without the hole for the fork. The top of the fork tube doesnt sit flush with the upper triple clamp, does it? I thought it stuck up a little higher than the clamp.
