Hi everyone.
Its been a while since I posted and annoyed you all with my questions asking for help with my Yamaha xj900 trike which is now 99.9% ready for the test. Its booked in on April 12 and it will pass so I'll be on the road soon!
I want to ask if anyone out there knows how I can swop the existing handlebars which are individually bolted down into the forks for a decent set of chopper style bars to bring the controls a little closer and get rid of the need to lean forward all the time.
Can anyone suggest how I might swop or adapt the handlebars to accommodate some decent bars?

I know it’s not any help but it looks like you will have to get custom parts made up for this.

yes, it looks that way. I've searched everywhere and there does'nt seem to be anything out there that will do the job. I have an idea or two though.......... thanks. I'll keep you posted!

thanks guys, I'll give mandp.com a try. As far as getting on the roand is concerned, see my other post re immobiliser.
The T**t I bought the bike from said it was 'road legal' and because my heart was ruling my head when I bought my baby I checked his address on the V5 but it didn't cross my mind to check the taxation class so although my baby has passed its MOT class III I now have the fun and games of a MSVA test to look forward to and for that I have to have an immobiliser - F knows why!!!

Now I DON'T need an immobiliser, an isolator switch will do the job.
that's more like it!
