raising forks...

I got new brake lines....the 20 dollar jobbers on ebay...and they are cut to fit the drag bars unfortunately. If I had known that this would happen I would for sure have gotten the superbike bars. That's fine though I now know more stuff for my next bike. This whole thing is just a big learning experience. I'll try a riser out and see, otherwise I could just order a superbike bar and ask for some more brake lines for my birthday...

you will love the superbikes...either way get a set of these(see below) in whatever color you choose ,as they are the total shit...and give the whole front end a better feel...you may not notice the change at first...but after having em for a while...take em off and try riding...big difference ,for only ten ten bucks...do five or ten little things like this upgarde to a front end on thses old bikes and you got a good bike..without someone elses forks wedged on there:woohoo:

Nah!

I like'em rickety and wobbly with lots of jerkiness in the throttle! Thats how I get my kicks at 165mph! :woohoo: :laugh: :laugh:

Besides! The harder they shake, the more I let go of'em! :laugh:

I got these instead:



BTW, that master cylinder is now fixed with the proper hose.

So instead of raising the bars an inch you'll decrease your turn radius "turn radius shim"... I got this right...:blink:

Damn, I would think this would be an easier solution but your build....

Dave, what web site is this?

Yeah, where are those from? I ahve found a number of them online, but usually for way too much money. I found a set on eBay for only 27:

cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...n%3D2&category=35587

If 1.2 inches is enough rise for me then these are mine.

AHA, adjustable, and with shipping to canada at only 11$ it's cheaper than the others...

cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...n%3D2&category=35587

I measured it tonight and I am only going to need about an inch of rise, so I got the adjustable ones so I can make a nice tight fit. I am going to have to switch my brake setup though as the master cylinder bolt is contacting the tank even at an inch of bar rise, so I will use a single banjo at the master cylinder and the double bolt at the caliper.

I have seen those risers on Ebay several times. Haven't hit the bong in a long time, but I sure would like too.

I used to hit the bong, and hit some other fun stuff, then I went to the hospital. I don't hit the bong anymore.
