Default Comfy kit

I'm after a 2006 SV650s comfy kit.

Has anyone got one for sale or know where I can get one from?

Thanks

A replacement top handlebar yoke where you can fit renthal bars instead of the clip ons.

More upright and less strain on your back & hands

If you do an advanced search on the forum for comfy kits there are a load of posts about them and where to get them from. From memory it's about 200 quid plus you will probably need longer front brake hoses and you have to hack a bit of the screen off.

I thought about it an decided I could live with the pain, the more you ride it the easier it gets.

The alternative to comfy kits are either Gilles Variobars, which I have and keep the clip on look with a good choice in bar position and height with their adjustment.

Or LSL clip ons which raise the height of the riding position.

The curvy's fairing makes life difficult in getting a good position as the range is limited. I know I've tried, but my position is very comfy now. knees and hips hurt more than wrists and arms.

I'm using Gilles Variobars, expensive, but they do turn up on Ebay. Plus you can use them on different forks by buying different sized clamps
