RFQ: design-build a pair of "off-set blocks" to fit XB-R handlebars, controls & upper triple clamp.
Proposed description includes:
A joined shaft & socket that off-set each handlebar 1.5-in +/- (mostly up).
Shaft with internal threads replaces stock handlebar in triple clamp's socket.
Billet material joins socket with clamp in single stout component (handlebars fail, not off-set clamp).
Socket mimics triple clamp's socket: receives stock handlebars & controls (longer clutch, throttle cables, what about brake line & wiring?).

Put me down as 'wants' a nice rear spray deflector kit, too.

strmvt, wed totally tackle that...i wanna be straight up with you on a couple things - id wanna get ahold of micron to find about what alloy of stainless it is...and it would be a little time consuming, makin sure it mirrors the other pipe and doin it right so it doesnt look like its been touched...that being said it wouldnt exactly be the cheapest job ever. if you can understand where im comin from and would be interested let us know. thanks

I'd be very interested in some sort of detachable rear fender as well...since doing the tail chop I can't stand the small rocks and crap that hit me in the back of the head at low speed, or the water down my back when it's wet out...

Hebejoshing- Maxal Makes superior aluminum welding wire in 4043 and 5356

Chances are if you use some, I saw it at some point in the manufacturing process.

Can you make this plate mount? I can send you 2 basic designs of how I think it would clamp! If you think you can do it let me know the price and we'll go from there!

 

[crxtasy169]

It's a 2 peice design.

I would like this one

I had a friend of mine that had a gsxr 750 with one like the second picture and his came loose and smacked another guy in the head with is license plate on the interstate. It was a scary site but luckily the guy that got hit in the head by it was wearing his helmet.

 

[hebejoshing]

Ok guys I'm going to work on getting this fender design going as well the license plate design. If anybody comes up with something else just let me know. And if anybody is serious about some of the stuff they posted such as fixing the exhaust, handle bar risers and so on let me know for sure. I dont mean to be an ass but I dont want to put the time into something unless your for sure you want it.

Thanks again guys. Really appreciate it.

Re: handlebar risers. I'll send concept drawing.

 

[hebejoshing]

Ok are you sending it in a hard copy or email. I have autocad, inventor, and solid works. Most likely if you have a different program I know somebody that has it.

Look forward to seeing it.

 

[delta one]

do you have access to pro E? I may have a friend work up something for me on there if i can convince him to do it.

 

[hebejoshing]

I dont have it nor have I worked with it. I think a friend of mine has it though.

hebejoshing, This sounds great! I need someone to make me a rear rack/saddlebags mount for my 08 1125. Have you made anything like that before?

 

[aptbldr]

Link to concept drawing for XB-R handlebar riser at end of post.
0) Two each per motorcycle.
1) Steel, painted.
2) Socket-head bolt, washer & nut @ proposed XB-Riser to OEM handlebar shaft-leg.
3) OEM bolt @ relocated handlebar to XB-Riser socket-leg.
4) XB-Riser bracket works both right hand & left (goal).
5) Will bracket rotate? (clamping force enough?)
6) Will bracket break, or handlebar bend? (link plates OK?)
7) What changes make it stronger/simpler?

Comments toward better riser-brackets appreciated.

triple7 did you have any designs in mind??

 

[triple7]

No, I saw one made by ventura and americansportbike.com sells a rack with a big tailbag in the $450 range. Ouch. I have a Buell tail bag but dont like the way it straps on over my passenger cowling, I would like to attatch it to a rack somehow instead. I wanted the 1125 saddlebags but they are nonexistant now. So I thought of getting the Bolt bags and bolting them on some way to a rear rack/frame that maybe conects to the rear peg mount/protectors , but I'm just spit-balling. What do you think? Is it possible?

How much did you charge for that 24v valve cover?
