Re: 05-06 zx6 db bars?
im looking for an answer to the same question right now, the 03-04 clamps wont fit due to the fact the the stem size hole is too small on the 03-04 clamp to fit on the 05-06 stem, im at work now and going to try and bore the stem hole out on a bridgeport to 1.1 inchs witch is the O.D. size of the 05-06 stem, the size of the 03-04 clamp is .984 witch isnt that big of a change. it looks like the clamp will line up stright just the the hole is to small
if anyone has any insight on this before i do it let me know so i dont **** up a mint 03 clamp for no reason, only reason im doing it is because i dont have 225 bucks to drop on a hohey at this point
o and i forgot, im pretty sure also putting holes in the 05-06 clamp were the stock triangle things are, are not good enough the metal is too thin there and that the way that its shaped will not be strong enough just my 2cents but then again i dont know either becuase i cant find any info on this subject

just drill the holes on the top part above the stock holes, thats what my buddy did just make sure the bend of the bars dont hit the tops of the forks, mess with it before you drill they almost need to mount right at the very edge, and you;ll need to move your ignition
ill try to get pics

Re: 05-06 zx6 db bars?
I had the same question when I did my 636. I ended up using a billet top clamp I got from ATLFreestyle that was supposed to fit the 03-04. I just drilled out the stem and it worked great.
I do remember seeing pics of A.C. Farias's bike at stuntwars and he was still using the stock tripple and I think Scarygary was too on his.
It looked like they ran through the stock holes with plastic spacers but I couldn't see well enough to make out what they really had.
Just flip the stock clipons and turn them out and you'll love em. I had Mx bars but went back to clipons after a short time and I usually love Mx bars.

done... used a 1 7/64 drill bit to bore the hole out and 1 1/8 to make the slight angle on the top and bottoms of the holes and works fine, just need to drill the holes for the tag mounts and its done

so gangster but its not letting me view anything on your site.
i tried boring the 03-04 clamps and my f*cking but is super dull so im gonna try and drill the smaller holes in the stock one. if it dont work ill either buy the hohey or try getting a better bit to drill the 03 clamps
