Anybody know of a company that makes telescoping handlebars or knows a way to DIY? What I mean is the ability to adjust the length of the handlebars without having to swap in different bars. If you're wondering why, I like to use my dirt bike for both trails and tracks. Trail bikes tend to have shorter handlebars to make going between trees easier. My bike YZ125 is built for the track. To do it myself I would think if I cut a section out of the center, between the clamps of course, and found a tube sightly larger than the diameter of the handlebars and long enough to fit between the clamps that ought to do it right? So the two separate handlebars would slide inside the tube. This tube would help to keep the forces on the handlebar displaced between both sides. Yes not as well as keeping it one piece but perhaps well enough? I guess the other route would be to see if anyone makes clip-ons for dirt bikes. So am I onto something or am I on something with this idea?

Thanks I'll give this a try. I'm hoping to get up to the trails soon here so let's hope I can figure it out.

Well I'm one of the new guys as well. About three years ago I bought myself a dirt bike, YZ125, to finally get back into it. I had a little multi-terrain Honda when I was a teenager but it didn't run too well and it didn't last too long. Anyways I finally got back into off-roading and really enjoying it. I did post a thread looking for help with my clutch problem in the dirt bike section. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently had to replace my oil level check bolt because the threads were stripped. That was simple but ever since putting the clutch cover back on I can't get the clutch to work properly. I think it has to do with the push rod and push lever not being properly set. But I don't know what else to do. When I pull my clutch handle in I feel the rod pushing the entire distance. So it isn't like I have too much slack and the rod isn't moving far enough. But even with the clutch pulled all the way in the gears will not disengage. I'm a bit of a noob though. I'm not totally sure what the rod is supposed to do. I think the push lever rotates clockwise when the clutch is pulled in and pulls the push rod out which pulls on the pressure plate and that disengages the gears from the motor. Any thoughts?
