Hi all,

I have an 83 Kz250 with Clip ons and now the forks are a bit too short so it doesn't handle great.

Is there a safe way of extending the fork tubes by about 60mm?

TIA

Get rid of the clipons and put on superbike bars.

Custom fork tubes are possibly the only option, but probably expensive. Franks Forks is the only place I know of. I guess they're still in business as a website is still up, but it's different. The ohio cafe racers fork tube conversion chart doesn't list any larger Kawasaki models that used the same size forks as yours. I was thinking a bigger model, especially an Ltd, might have longer fork tubes.
