    Modifying SV650S Handlebars

    I see quite a few s-series SV650's - is it just a simple case of putting on the standard SV650 handlebars to give that more upright riding position?

    If so what ball-park cost would it be? [Lurking in there of course are all the cables etc that may/maynot have to be lengthened.]

    Thanks for feedback.

    Yes, however every now and then you see a SV650s coming up on Trademe and as they say if the price is right, then you need to modify bars. I noticed an 's' on there this morning and somewhat got me thinking.

    Heads Up and Enjoy

    If its KS19's bike then buy it. Work out the logistics later

    You could just ride it standard for a bit, see if you like it.

    If you decide you want the more upright position, I have the top tripple clamp, bars, cables etc

    Call me if you want them 027 2559143

    I've been hovering around the SV650S as my next bike - because I hate the upright position of the VTR 250 (20 years racing bicycles so I'm used to low handlebars!). The standard SV650 is about $2000 cheaper than the S and the cost of a givi is only about $300 so by changing an S to the standard you're effectively throwing money away.

    You're a patient man so wait for the proper SV650 to become available....or get a Cagiva Raptor 650 - more or less the same engine.
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    Thanks for the feedback all of you and the offer, points taken onboard. It is a wee way off into next autumn before I get to serious end to buy.
