    Wonder how he did this?

    I saw this listing on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Suzuk...QQcmdZViewItem and was wondering if any of you guys had an idea of how he did the handlebars

    Don't know how but it sure does look flimsy.
    Not the place I would want my bike to break.

      I doubt they're that flimsy. Any local machine shop can fab risers like that. You just need something that clamps to the bars and a cross bar that goes into the upper clamp. I used to have some similar risers that looked like a factory suzuki piece. I have no idea where they are now though.

      I think its a pretty cool idea and may try to make some more.

        The brackets look pretty thick, 3/4" I would suspect. Just not sure how get it on the tipple tree.

          Like I said, use the factory mounts and run a bar through them, then bolt to that.

              :-D Better yet, I'll see if I can dig up the Suzi ones this weekend. If I want to make something like that for a bike there's no telling how long it could take lol with 5 projects limping around the yard.

                something like those are not hard to fabricate at all. they are cut in one dimention, and drilled and tapped.

                Use a program like solid edge, Auto Cad, Solid Works, Inventor.. or any other modeling program to make a draft

                    I have 3dMax7. If you need a 3d draft of something I can make it for you.

                        Oh haha, that could be an issue. You can take drafts to machine shops though to have a proto made.

                          There are lots of manuals out there for solid works. see if you can find one in a bookstore from a technical school or collage. most universities are using either auto cad 2000 or solid edge V19.

                            snowmobile accessory. Bar risers are a common thing to the sled set
