I had read on a forum about someone fitting MT09 handlebars to their xt1200z. I carried out this mod today.
The only mods I did were to add 50mm extensions to each end of the bars to allow me to retain the original bar width and keep my barkbusters, this was done by making stainless slugs with a M16 x 1.5mm thread that fits the threads into the ends of the bars as is used by the stock bar end weights, these then have a 22mm diameter for 50mm and then end is then threaded to allow the back busters to be secured.
The bars have the same lift as the originals, but far less sweep.
I can recommend the mod to anyone who finds the stock bars horrid.
