Title: modify the handle bar from clip on style to motorcross bar
Post by: Cozzy on November 04, 2006, 11:20:16 AM
As I am riding a 99's GS500 which come's with a clip on style bar, , I am thinking about getting a set of mount for modifing it to the motocross style bar.

my question are, will the cable and wire be long enough for that modify? Where can I get the mounting kit?

you can probably get a whole new set of triples from someone on here in trade.  The clip ons are a pretty sought after mod for non-89 GSes.

A look at the part numbers to compair the '89 to '90-02 cables may help to see if they are different.

I have an excellent condition '04 handlebar clamp and upper triple clamp, if needed.
