I would like to convert my sports bike from drop down handlebar's to ordinary straight bars what do I have to?

Question

do to do this and what bike would match a Suzuki GSXR 250?

Answer 1

Your bike sounds like a mid 80's early 90's model , which wasn't sold officially in the uk, but quite a few made it over here when imports became popular.
If it has conventional front forks you could look to convert it with parts from another Suzuki of the era, i.e, GS500 , GSF250/400 Bandit etc(ebay has loads of spares that may help), but if it has USD forks, you will probably have to buy an aftermarket kit such as LSL's (mentioned elsewhere). Watch you dont run into problems with fouling bodywork, stretching cables and wiring though.
Buy a magazine such as Streetfighters for ideas on how other people have done similar conversions and companies advertising parts to convert it .
Good luck, hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Offset clip-ons with various lengths and bends do exist and they work remarkably well. Check with your local motorcycle dealer who has access to a Parts Unlimited catalog and he can easily set you up with that.

One thing you DON'T want to do is drill holes in your triple-clamp. The manufacturer's, especially for sportbikes make these things as light as possible with little extra thickness, webbing and material. Drilling holes in the factory party could induce failure and that could be deadly. Stick with bolt on replacements or accessories. It's faster, cheaper and easier.

Answer 4

For a comercial kit, look to LSL Superbike Conversions:

If you want to do it yourself, look for dirtbike bar mount kits (like this, this is just an example, there are ALL kinds on eBay all the time):

This will require you drill holes in your top triple to mount them, but that's not really a big deal. Then you can choose any kind of bars you want. Depending on how high you go, you May need a longer front brake line, clutch line or choke cable... but you'll just have to see what's required.

Parts are cheap, labor is fairly simple, and I'm 100% certain that 99% of the shops out there will rip you a new one if you ask them to do all the work for you.

Answer 5

Take the bike back to the dealer and have them custom fit the bike to your needs.

Answer 6

GSXR 250? Do they still make them?
Sell the bike and get something bigger.

Answer 7

GenMar risers and clip ons are popular for raising the bars, I've used them on two separate bikes: http://www.zianet.com/GenMar/

Answer 8

How about getting a pair of clip-ons that adjust taller? With straight bars you'd probably get into problems with them contacting your bodywork. Here's a link to some adjustable clip-ons.
