Cheers. That Google search tip turns up better results than the search on here surprisingly.

Re: Topyokes conversion
 

After all that it appears that the Topyokes full kit now offers the extended throttle cables as well as the brake lines.
I'm still tempted to try the slightly longer naked clutch cable to keep the routing smooth. Looking at the Venhill ones they come as either straight or with a slight curved elbow at the end. Apparently the curved cable is the same as the original Suzuki but the one currently fitted on mine (pointy K 8 is straight. Does anybody have any experience or opinion on the straight vs curved options?


+ Bibio, are you still making the switchgear wiring extensions?

Re: Topyokes conversion
 

Those bars look like the same as AL7 ones, maybe a tad wider ? I find the AL7 bars very comfortable.

Re: Topyokes conversion
 

Cheers. Looking at the one currently fitted again it looks like it has a lot of slack, so may be not the original, given that it also doesn't have the bend near the end that the original is supposed to have. I'm going to give it a go using the one that is already there, hoping it was a slightly longer than original that has been fitted in the past.


Topyokes kit ordered. I'll update when it arrives... possibly 3 weeks.. possibly 3 months? Hopefully not 3 years!


Cheers for all help and input.

Re: Topyokes conversion
 

no coz you dont need them. all you do is disconnect the connector form the stay bar behind the headstock.

Re: Topyokes conversion
 

Cheers. I was guessing you'd say that having seen the pics of it being done. Good to have the confirmation from someone with the experiance. Thanks Bibio.

clutch cable - 2005 bandit 650

i will measure brake lines and throttle cables tomorrow if i get a chance.
all measurements will be for Renthal medium road bars.

you will also need a rubberised P clip with an L bracket to hold the brake rez.

Re: Topyokes conversion
 

Topyokes kit all arrived today. 20 days isn't bad I suppose. Not the 10 days mentioned on the site, but not as bad as the couple of months I was expecting from their reputation. Nothing fitted yet so not sure if supplied hoses and cables are the right size, but will feedback on that when it's done.
I ordered the plain black anodized Topyoke, but appear to have been given one with the engraved SV650s logo, which should have cost more so i'm not going to complain.

Re: Topyokes conversion
 

Think mine took 9 months to arrive :-)

Matts work is top notch, just disorganised :smt114

Re: Topyokes conversion
 

I did the bank transfer too and thought that would be setting me up to be dropped to the bottom of the list.



Yep, all looks quality. The yoke is reassuringly chunky. I didn't expect to get the bolts with the hoses either and they're included. The bars seem so wide and quite a big rise on them. Worrying now that I'm going to miss the clip on position! I'm sure my worries will disappear though if I manage over an hour on the bike in one go without wrist pain. Here's hoping.
