    i was wondering if any one knows of a site where i can buy a downhill handlebar holder for my sr 125 as most of them you have to modify the head tube and seeing as i dont know what that is im not really looking to modify it.

    i think that will fit but i just want to be sure
    cheers

    most of the headsets are 1" 1/4 and the sr stem thing is only 1"

    what i did is buy the 1"1/4 headset and bought a shim to fit a 1" stem.

    forgot where i got it but search

    1" to 1" 1/4 shim or something

    did you have a locking bolt for it?

    shims arent very secure

    why just tell him?

    i told him a way that can be done easily and you say no no no dont do it.

    then you dont tell him your method ???

    WTF was the point in posting then ?

    cos he will be able to do it
    i worked a way of doing it, just rather he discover a way to do it

    he can do it your way thats fine, just i didnt think it was an good way to do it
    do it how you want mate, but you WILL see that you can use the standard bars to make a better mount
