Default trying to get rid of these dirt bike bars

I want to get rid of these ugly handlebars and put the stock ones on or some kind of bar that is similar to stock feel. The problem is i dont even know where to start. Never really took a bike apart. Can someone please show me how to do this because they feel like crap while im riding.

Dunno about how they feel - lotsof people ride bikes with those style bars and like em. I actually need a set for a project build I'm working on - can you post a pic of the handle bar mounts, specifically the risers that the bars are bolted onto, and how those risers attach to the upper triple? I need to figure out how the risers are attached to the top triple on yours.

I have a stock upper triple that I'd be willing to swap you for and maybe some cash for the bar and riser assembly.

To put yours back stock, you really just need to remove the bar, and swap on some clip-ons. But without seeing exactly what the top triple looks like now, there may be other stuff going on up there.

its a 05 600rr tail i think. I was thinking about putting some drag bars on it. Maybe it will feel a little better with those.

+1 - I need to know this as well.

myfreshdcs09 - can you post a pic for us to see how the risers are mounted? several of us want to go to the type of setup you have.

Default yea i think it is stock triple

it looks like there was just a hole drilled and the risers bolted right up to the triple from underneath.
