Ultra-lows fit straight onto the naked without having to adjust cables, although they are approx.1.25 inches too long on each side. Fit them, get an idea of where you want the controls, then fit a jubilee clip round the bar to give you a guide (this'll help you get a straight cut as the jubilee clip is stronger than the bars) and chop the remaining off with a hacksaw/dremel/whatever.

There is a locating tab on the inside of the controls for the k5 SV, and there's probably one on the k3 as well. Opinions differ (Don't they Razor) about what to do with it. Some say drill the bars so you can fit the tab into the new bars, I personally go with filing the tab down so they will fit wherever you want them. If you wanna drill them, do a search as it's been covered a few times.

Hope that helps.
