I'm looking to put riser bars on both my curvy SVS's.
Now from what I foudn out so far the following cable/lines have this much travel:

Brake +1"
Clutch +3"
Trottle +4"
Elec +4"

So it looks like I will need to get a new clutch cable and new brake line.

Anyone out there who can confirm this? Or maybe some pics of where they re-routed there lines?

I'm looking to do the same but can't really find any info.

Are you going to use the bar raisers on the SVS yoke? I was going to do the same but I have been informed they could crack.

Anyone have any info or have fitted raisers on the SVS yoke?

Well I have S yoke with risers and it looks fine...

What risers did you use and are they a one hole fixing or two?

Were they easy to fit?

Cheers

Well I bought the whole thing as a 'used' set... I have some pic's somewhere, I think the risers are one hole off a bandit.

Have a look here:

Have a look at the Sunriser clip ons in the services section of this site, they lift the bars by about 1 and a half inches and come with longer cables as needed, you just need a hacksaw and epoxy resin to fit em
alternatively, have a look at the 2006 Demon Tweaks catalogue as they have some in there as well, but are dearer than the Canadian ones

There's a really posh design advertised on svrider.com that are adjustable and look good. I'm sure they're "convertibars" or something. Have a look there.

grinch, try a forum search - john (admin john) has got risers on his SV and i think there's some info either on the forum or on the main site.

otherwise, you could try svrider site - there seem to be a number of users of them on the other side of the pond.

finally - there's a "how to" guide on the sunrisers website, but i think for a pointy but may give some general info.

Hi,
I fitted the LSL conversion to my 99S. You need a longer front brake line from the master cylinder to the splitter and a longer clutch cable. I kept the original clutch cable, but it eventually snapped due to the routing of it. I had to move some of the cables to the outside of the fork legs to get them to fit.

I do have risers on my curvy SV.

see the 2005 section of this http://www.sv650.org/sv_restorer.htm

I have a spare oversize brake hose, the top bit you can have for nought.

Mine is 1999 models - quite an easy mod to do - use top yolk off naked version - switchgear all fits
BIGGEST RENTHAL STREETFIGHTER BARS FROM BANDITMANIA FITTED- (massive rise)
Banditmania do them with switchgear holes already pre drilled for extra couple of quid - I have put naked top-yolk (25 QUID E BAY) on mine - all cables do fit but need careful re-routing - longer front brakehose fitted (just got a complete front set cheap off off e bay and used the one of the splitter to lower fork hoses in place of master cylinder to splitter) - - I have double bubble screen fitted which has been modded/cut out (really easy) - had to use chewys mirror extentions as all you can see is you elbows without this mod (you could make your own I guess) - the whole shooting match was in the region of £100 - happy to send you a pic of mine if required
