SV 1000s and flat bars - SV650.org

Hi

I am thinking of getting the SV1000 S but really want to have a set of flat bars like the naked bike. Given that there are more S version with a bit of bling I would prefer to convert one of these.

Has anyone done this and is it a pain in the **** and expensive?

thanks

I don´t really know about the SV1000, but i converted my SV650S -03 with a complete kit from "Louis".
The "LSL Superbike kit" included upper yoke, handlebar an steel braided brake lines and costed about 200£.
It took me about four hours work to make the conversion (normal skilled mechanic

) Most of the time was used for rerouting the wiring and bleeding the front brake. I didn´t have to make any changes that can not be undone easily.
I am very satisfied with my conversion. Have a much more comfortable bike now and got a much better front brake too.
