    hey all,
    i'm wanting to change my original handlebar setup to drag or cafe style. what i'm confused about is how the new bars mount vs. the original style. is there a mounting bracket or other adapter i need to make this conversion?
    thanks.

    You will need to buy some regular risers, xs 650 or 400 or the like to accept a 7/8 bar. Then take off all the stock bar mounts and such so the top tree is bare, and then the hole where the bars went through will need to be drilled to accept the riser drop through and make a spacer so to tighten the bolts and you are in bussiness.
