Can't take the clip-ons anymore.

Got a SV650N handlebar coming.
VStrom throttle housing and cable
Vstrom clutch cable
SV650S 830mm Longer Brake lines

Hopefully it will work out.

Just need to get hold of a top yoke and a few more bits and I can get rid of them.

Out of interest, how high are the standard risers to the bottom of the handlebar? Thanks.

I'll have to let someone else answer that. I've yet to source a N yoke.

Got the risers attached to the drilled yoke today. Looks like with the sv650n handlebars I'm going to get a 3 inch rise. Hopefully get the longer brake lines on tomorrow. Next weekend I want to put the longer cables on and attach the bars.

Can't wait for the comfort.

Got the bars on today and swapped to the longer lines. Need to get the switch gear, clutch, throttle and brake sorted tomorrow.

Wow, what a difference.

Just a bit more about the parts I used incase anyone else is thinking of doing it.

Get the switch gear extensions from Bibio, they will save you some hassle.
The VStrom throttle cables and housing work, although a foot or so too long and needed some creative routing.
The VStrom clutch cable is also a little too long, but again can me routed to minimise.
The Wezmoto brake lines are spot on, he'll make them to what ever length and I went for 830mm so I have scope for more rise or draw back in the future.

Took me longer than I thought, almost two full days, and I'm not that experienced with spanners etc.
