Fitting Renthals on naked Pointy?

I only had one problem. The throttle cables can be just a tiny bit short. Apart from that shouldn't have any problems.

Go with some renthal ultra lows! Ive got them on my naked K3 and they fit perfectly. Can be a bit fiddily to get the switch gears back onto the bars but its not too hard!

Dont have a picture at the moment as my iphone has packed up mate!

I will get one in the next couple of days! You will need to drill them though and mark out where the locating tabs are for the switch gears!

The only ones that will fit without at least rerouting cables, (if not replacement with longer ones), are Road Bike Ultra Low, it doesn't specify in your link which those are. Perhaps if you look on Renthal's own site and compare dimensions, you could work it out.

The only difficulty you will encounter is that the switchgear has locating pins that fit in holes in the original bars that the Renthal bars do not have, most people cut the pins off, I don't recommend drilling holes in the bars. When you fit the bars, make sure you have the clamps the right way around, (they are unequal), with the dot at the front.
Torque the front bolt while the rear is loose, then torque the rear bolt

I run Ultralows on my curvy and they fit great (but I have a GSXR front end) they sit in a bracket from a KTM Enduro bike
