Handlebar mod...?

[jkelpsch]

I've seen a pic of an xb9s with a handlebar crown in stead of a regular handlebar set up. Any ideas on how to do that?

Are you talking about firebolt style bars?

or crossroads?

handlebar crown[confused]

if putting an R top tripple on is what you mean, then yes, it can and has been done. there's crossraod style clipons from americansportbike.com which are easier, but you might be able to get away cheaper with the R top tripple mod.
i think it looks pretty damned good, and was gonna do it to my 9 but i got an 1125 recently, so i'll leave it as it is for a while

thanx..never heard of R top triple...got any more info on how to do it...or where to find parts?...the crossroads style is def what i saw but they are expensive..

The triple tree is the bracket piece that holds the shocks and steering bearings. The firebolt (xb12R) has a different triple tree because it has clipon style bars.

I may be selling my crossroads bars soon.
It depends on if the wife likes them.

It sucks bro, now that i have two Buell's she has laid claim to the lightning.
being that she is shorter than me she said she may not want the crossroads bars. [down]
It took me soo long to get them[mad]
but that is what being married is all about.
