SV650s with Renthal style bars

Hey guys,

I recently bought a 02 sv650s with Renthal bars already attached(see pic). I'm going to tidy those cables up soon as they're pretty ugly and in the way at the moment.



Now i was just wondering if i ever decided to convert this to naked would i need to change the bars and all the cables that people seem to have trouble with in regards to the standard bars?

This work was done before the person i bought the bike from had it so he had no idea either.

Also, how easy is it to revert back to the stock bars if i ever decided to do that?

Thanks.

You will need the standard throttle cables as a minimum as you will probably have lengthened cables fitted , Brake lines can stay the same .

That would be if i wanted the stock bars back on?

It was probably a stupid question but just wanted clarification that i wouldn't have to change bars and certain cables to go naked streetfighter when that time comes.

Thanks mate.

No , that is if you want to go back to Clip-On bars , making the bike into a naked you wouldn`t need to do anything to it from your setup you have there .

my dear badger is correct but do take into account ,light mounting, indicator mounting, rewire of light to loom or new N front loom
and mirrors either barend or change to N clutch and brake resivoirs

If you were going to fit vapour clocks to a curvy is it a loom change situation???

More like a loom modification. There's a lot of wire to hide once you remove those bulbous plastics.

just put same on my sv650s, rerouted the cables, rerouted the throttle cables, only bought new longer brake lines( which where gonna be changed anyhoo) looks quite tidy, will do some piccies soon.

Man , have you seen the amount of stuff the front fairing hides ? Once you commit yourself to tidying stuff up you are going to have to make sure it is a very tidy job . Dominator lights ... hmmm , can`t remember but somewhere in the past I remember somebody mentioning about heat build up in these "Streetfighter" type lights so make sure it can take what the SV chucks out , I`m sure it will be ok but just make sure . In answer to adding a Vapour system I have seen threads (not necessarily on here) where there was a diagram for taking power etc from the SV loom and it didn`t look too hard or messy . Try the search feature on here , sure I saw it somewhere back in the mists of time
