Can you put moto cross handle bars on a street bike?



Can you put moto cross handle bars on a street bike?

you can put them on practically any bike. dirt bike bar clamps are usually bolted onto the top triple clamp. so if your top triple is just a solid chunk of aluminum then you just need to pull it off and drill some holes for some new bar clamps.

however some triple clamps are cast and have a hollow structure on the bottom which may interfere with that. you may need to get clamps with considerable rise to clear the fork tubes which usually stick up a lot higher on a sport bike (to serve as a place for clip ons)

also you have to deal with cable/wire lengths being long enough to reach higher bars.

if you referring to a street bike that already has bar clamps on top of the triple then you are somewhat limited to what will fit in those clamps. small tube bars with cross bars usually fit, oversized bars will need new clamps or risers that convert from small clamp size to an oversized clamp size.
i dont think so, i know on my sport bike the right and left are bolted in seperate and are angled totally different then a dirtbike
Sure, as long as they are the same diameter as what came off the street bike. You will also have to take into consideration the length of the various cables and wires if the handle bars you are going to install are alot higher or wider.

EDIT: As the first poster said, your street bike must have a similar type handle bar mounting system. You wouldn't be able to change the bars if your street bike has clip-on style bars, well, you still could but not without changing alot of other stuff.
It depends on what streetbike you are talking about. You would have to have regular handlebar clamps on your triple fork to hold the handlebars.

Yes. Why not? You could change the whole triple tree and fork tubes while you're at it. How far do you want to go? You could cut the frame, rake it out, and make it into a chopper. That's what I would do.
