I'm trying to mount dirtbike bars on my 98' F3. Just wondering where's a good place to have cables made up for the added length? Also... is it safe to drill holes in the upper triple tree for dirtbike bar mounts? What's the best way to do that? I'm also in need of a right peg bracket and right side tail section if anyone's got em! Thanks.

safe....hmm maybe i ran dbs on my gsxr 1000 with a universal clamp but the f3 triple looks a little weaker....

 

Damn that F4i went down hard.

 

i have a f3 with db bars and its just drilled out with tag bar clamps. I use the stock cables. Just route them different. They will work.

 

just lift the clip ons and turn them

 

One clip was already broken when I bought it, and I'd rather have dirtbike bars.

Is it strong enough to hold for regular riding... no stunting???

$hit stronge with drilled holes.I've had mine drilled fer about a year and have stunted that whole time

 

why would you want db for regular riding.....they **** on the street....you feel like a brick wall with them.... not fun at 150mph

 

i love mine on the street... but i guess thats cuase they are also on a 600rr, so it completely feels like a dirtbike now

 

it might so well be a dirtbike....still trying to get the f4i out...at least it runs now:YEAH

 

I bought a wrecked bike. No plastics. I had the upper fairing stay, but the right side clip on was already busted. Rather than build the bike back to stock condition... I figured it'd be cheaper turning it into a "streetfighter" with dirtbike bars.

Thanks for your opinion... but I'll stick with what I'm doing. Just looking for some answers please.

Did you use stock cables? How about the front brake hose or the choke cable??

try getting a clutch cable from a honda 599. they have the f3 motor on a standard frame with db type bars. the throttle cable will work.

 

I used this kind of risers on my F2, they work, but my contact key didn't had enough space to get in or out...

I also needed longer gas cables, and a longer clutch cable...

But it's working now, I cut of a bit from the upper of the key, and now it fits

Where did you get your cables made? Motion pro said they'd make em for $30 each. But at 4 cables and shipping that's about $130. I'm looking for a cheaper way, before I order em up. Thanks for the help!

I have mine done like this and have rode with it for about 8 months now **** works good. Do it up

 

stock throttle cables, just reroute them. it'll be tight but they work
you *can get teh stock clutch cable to fit, but it'll have some tight bends in it and be annoying to pull in alot. Get a cable for a hornet, is like 3 inches longer and makes all the difference in pull ease.
Brake lines need to be replaced. get stainless lines for ANY "naked sportbike" Hornet, bandit, kawi Z1000 will all work. (bandit **** is alwayscheap)
drill the top triple, and dont worry about it. If you crash hard enough to break it, chances are it woulda broken anyway.

 

Thanks! Thats the answer I'm starting to hear more and more, so that's the way I'm going! Appreciate the help!!

 

Thanks to you too! Most of you guys that posted have been a big help, and I appreciate that!

Those tips on the cables were great advice, and I'll look into em!
