Topyokes conversion
 
Hi All, here's a few pics of my handlebar conversion.

I started to get a few aches in the wrists so splashed out on a topyokes conversion.

I tried the conversion using the original throttle cables but to be honest I think this is to be avoided. There is a really extreme angle on the cables as they leave the throttle bodies so I got the Venhill extended cables.

Brake lines were an extended set for the naked SV but the race setup.

Also took the oppertunity to fit some Oxford heated grips which are great.

The comfort is transformed entirely, no more wrist aches and the riding position is almost supermotard like with the wide renthal ultralow bars.

Highly reccomended.

I am just doing something similar, is that the best route for the throttle cables?

I ran them through the left side of the frame, the most direct route to the throttle bodies with the least kinks for the cables.

The best colour for a K6

I used custom cables when I did my conversion, they are easy enough to make, with a load of stainless wire and some solder on nipples. :D

Hi. Do you have any info on the throttle cables? Were they the ones that Venhill make for the naked SV? Or were they specially made for you by them?
Also where did you get brake lines? Am I right in assuming if I get the Hel lines specified for the naked SV they'd be long enough? I wouldn't be going with the race setup, just the standard line with the connection between calipers.
Looking at swapping out the clutch cable too while I'm at it and again, assuming I should be ordering one for the naked SV to be the right length.


If anyone has any info / advice with cable lengths and where to get them then that would be greatly appreciated.

no point in asking me anything as i have explained this in great detail elsewhere in other threads to which it always falls on deaf ears.

i will give you a hint though.. it involves string and a measuring tape.

Ok. Cheers. Not turning up anything with the search terms I'm using on your posts though.
If anyone knows the link to Bibios post can they let me know.


There are a lot of posts on here about doing the conversion, but I can't find the one mentioned.


I'm trying to have everything ready to go and ordered to give to someone who is doing the conversion for me as kind of a favour. Don't want to mess them around waiting for parts during the job if possible.
