Hi,
I have just got a 02 sv650 after 15 years on gs500s and I am loving it.
I have found the riding position much too forward and have got some 3 1/2 risers and a BMW set of handlebars (pictured attached together).
When I measure up it seems I need cables about 8 inches longer to attach these?
I guess the bars are to move 6 inches up and two inches back more or less does this seem excessive I wonder to people out there?
I would like to try it nonetheless and I can always get lower risers if it is no good.
My problem is getting the extended cables for 8 more inches.
I was thinking to buy another set of the electrical cables and splice it it has anyone done this or can offer thoughts?
The brake cables I think could do with changing anyway its done 20k on them
So I just need the clutch, accelerator and brake cables I assume . Can anyone advise where to get them ( I am in London )?
I read somewhere the v strom cables will work and these are longer. Can anyone confirm they are 8 inches or more longer , has anyone done a swap?
Many thanks in advance
