Curvy S riding position.

[johndo]

First time I've been out on bike for a couple of years. I finding riding position bit uncomfortable due to disability and putting on to much weight during lockdown.
Does anybody have any reasonably priced ideas to raise bars and lower the pegs. If not might be time to sell, which would be sad day as had it since new.:(

You could fit the top yoke, bars, cables, hoses from a naked sv

That would be cutting faring, wouldn't want to do that bike is in nice condition.

If you get the right height/ pull back bars you will only have to trim the 'ears' from the screen, I have drilled my 'S' yoke and reinforced the underside with carbon fibre and resin and laminated in an alloy plate, I have used Yamaha fazer 600 risers and Fazer 1000 bars and have only had to trim 1.1/4 inches from the ears on the screen, I'm not 100% finished the conversion yet but I may get away with not having to change all the relevant cables either... fingers crossed 🤞.

It would be great to see photos of how it' looks if possible?

As soon as I figure out how exactly how to do that I'll post some up ( afraid I'm a bit of a tech numpty).

Sounds a lot more involved than it really is once you have done it a couple of times it's easy. Also means you have another backup of photos :)

You can even resize photos on Imgur.

I’ve fitted a billet top yoke and rental low bars on my curvy, didn’t need to cut the fairing but I did have to trim the screen a bit

wasn't there a big discussion about this in a galaxy far far away about the naked top and bottom yokes being different from the sport (different offset) so you cant fit the naked yoke too the sport.

R1ffR4ff... top man, thanks for that, it does seem like Childs play, I'll give it a go later n see if I can't c#@k it up as per usual! Cheers. Ps ... is that your sv? If so ... Nice to see it in the 'right' colour ( and the fastest colour too).

Do you have any photos how it looks

[R1ffR4ff]

Yep that's mine. The Honeymoon is still going strong after 4 years plus :D

PS

I don't think there's a bad looking SV650 from old to new :)

Quite possibly, that does ring a bell

I used custom Layback risers on my top yoke to get my bar up and back enough to clear the fairing and ease my back pain. I have a custom front end, but I had an engineer friend modify the top yoke to accept the risers without having to modify my fairing. I run a pointy, but I imagine the same result could be achieved with a curvy. I did the mods because I am a disabled rider too and have a whole thread here (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=157076&page=1) that explains my mods, of which there are loads.
Good luck finding the fix for you, the SV is a great bike for a disabled rider I find because it is narrow, lightweight and still great fun. :D

Well, quick update, went to bolt the bars down to the yamaha fazer risers and discovered a hairline crack in the riser! Really hacked off tbh, spent ages polishing them prior to fitting. So ... back to ebay for some custom billet risers, a bit more money but really well machined and slightly higher than the fazer jobbies so hopefully will be even more comfortable. Sometimes stuff happens for a reason, just hoping it was for the right one!
