whats the options on changing the handlebars on a naked curvy? is it a case of oem or what different ones are out there that fit without having to chop and change the rest of the stuff.

cheers

Best fit is renthal ultra lows IMHO of course. My naked had blue anodised high braced renthals when I bought it, but the hoses, cables and wiring were a bit tight. Fitted some silver ultra lows and it looks, feels and rides like it should.

Renthal ultra lows on mine, almost the same as oem.

Fitted Renthal Low which needed a slightly longer brake line setup. Also took about 20mm off each end.
Suits me, Sir

Already had Goodridge so changed them for slightly longer Hels.
The G'ridges were a bit tight @ full fork extension but not so's you could play a tune on them. They MIGHT have been OK, but at my age can't do with too many ' mights '

Goodridge naked on mine were ok with 20mm off bars as puny but had to re route choke cable as was a bit tight on full lock and would open choke.
