Looks like your latest project maybe. Moves the bars up and back? Looks good. Mark

Nice handlebar adapter.  I also like that it does not block the ignition switch.  Nice Job!

I've been talking with Steve. This is NOT just an handlebar adapter. Wait till you hear "the Rest of the Story".

Good Day!

The area where the adapters mount to the plate look big enough to contain some sort of rubber bushings to help quell the buzz.

Very nice Steve. Of course you would present this after I have done all the work on getting my bars in a comfortable position.
Just kidding, I may have to buy one of these to see if its better than my setup.

Very interesting Steve.  I take a person would have to have Heli Bars or after market bars installed to utilize your set-up?

If it works as good as it looks, you will have a winner.  Not to mention, this opens up lots of different bend possibilities.  My personal favorite was/is the narrow touring bar used on the old Yamaha Seca 650.  Same bend as the RZ350 bar, but in shiny chrome.  RZ bar is painted black.  Are the risers needed to make this mod work?   Mike in TX

 I have run a solid version of this for years with various ATV bars. They're black and cheap, come in enough various heights to accomodate anything you'ld like to do. This adapter will need risers, and I think I'll offer the plate with and without the risers to accomodate those who alread have risers and want to save a few $$$. Steve

How long will I have to save up for this?  Any idea of the costs yet? Is it to early to send my deposit now?

Now I'm going to assume (yea, I know. Not a smart thing to do ;D) that the $$$ I spent this past spring on new braided brake lines will be flushed down the drain with this new set-up?  In a manner of speaking..........

not nessessarily, using tube bars lets you get a really comfortable set that fits you better than "one size doesn't fit anybody" clipons. Steve

True. But the stock +4" that I put on are just long enough to allow full fork extension. With your new set-up bringing them back closer to me will negate that..........won't it?
