Re: MX bar kit help..Please!

depends on how you want to do it! You can simply drill holes for risers and bolt everything on, OR you can drop some dough and get a set up like this!!!! It sits pretty tall due to the damper being there, but rides perfect, is perfectly straight and square and looks pimp as hell.

Re: MX bar kit help..Please!

or, you can do the smart thing, and not listen to eaze......
here is my tutorial of DB bars install
Take bars and components out of packaging
Smack self in face with DB bars
Throw DB bars into trash
Go rock clipons and remember how good it feels to still ride atleast half a normal streetbike.

Basically, you drill holes in the top triple clamp, as straight across as you can, and bolt it all up.......
might need longer cables and lines, just depends.......

Thanx bro. Does it make things feel a little better w (with the bars)? I just fell kinda awkward right now until it comes up then I am fine. Just thought it might feel a little better than being slumped down all the time. Thanx though...j

Was like night and day for me. My best standup on the highway was about a mile or so, then I swapped over and spreaders were that long then. Just felt soooo much easier, definately like cheating.
