Can anyone tell me if the K3 Naked handlebars are 7/8"? Would any other bikes handlebars fit? Will it matter what the rise is in terms of cable lengths?What about these?

EDIT: could someone move this to SVtalk Tuning and tweaking please, sorry!

Ta!Yes, just about anything will fit as long as they're 7/8", (22mm), only stumbling block is whether you'll have to change control cables, extend wiring etc, if you want something much different in dimension to what's already there. As a guide, when I changed the bars on my SV1000, I estimated that without changing any wiring or cables you could go either 2" higher or about 1 1/2" wider, or a lesser combination of both of those - but not both fully. Don't know about 650 cables though.
