Curvy S riding position.
First time I've been out on bike for a couple of years. I finding riding position bit uncomfortable due to disability and putting on to much weight during lockdown.
Does anybody have any reasonably priced ideas to raise bars and lower the pegs. If not might be time to sell, which would be sad day as had it since new. |

Re: Curvy S riding position.
You could fit the top yoke, bars, cables, hoses from a naked sv

Re: Curvy S riding position.
If you get the right height/ pull back bars you will only have to trim the 'ears' from the screen, I have drilled my 'S' yoke and reinforced the underside with carbon fibre and resin and laminated in an alloy plate, I have used Yamaha fazer 600 risers and Fazer 1000 bars and have only had to trim 1.1/4 inches from the ears on the screen, I'm not 100% finished the conversion yet but I may get away with not having to change all the relevant cables either... fingers crossed 🤞.

Then click on Direct Link option > Copy Now in a post click on the Envelope icon in the Icon bar of a post and remove the blue text in the bar and paste the URL and OK. Sounds a lot more involved than it really is once you have done it a couple of times it's easy. Also means you have another backup of photos You can even resize photos on Imgur.

Re: Curvy S riding position.
wasn't there a big discussion about this in a galaxy far far away about the naked top and bottom yokes being different from the sport (different offset) so you cant fit the naked yoke too the sport.
