Default Re: handlebar uprise for SV650S?

I have the FJ1200 bars on my curvey.

Be aware that they are not a direct fit, there's not enough clearance to get round the top yoke, but being forged steel risers they can easily be ground to get the clearance and still leave plenty of meat.

I fitted them swapped left to right, the FJ bars are marked L&R, to get a better position. You need to drill the holes for the switchgear, and I welded a small tab on the right hand one and drilled&tapped it for the brake fluid reservoir.

I think the brake line is about 30mm longer than stock IIRC. Other cables etc fit fine. Make sure you get the FJ bar ends with them, they are totally different to SV weights.

The riding position is vastly improved IMO, much easier to use in town.
