Two ways of goign about it...depends on how much you want to spend/how good you want it look(arguably)

Option One--Using the 'Naked' Top yoke.
*you need a clipons similar to the Helibar(might even find some off another make of bike that might work) as the work with the naked top yoke. *Headlight bracket will need changing to an after market one or you can 'cut and shut' you original one
*Clutch cable
*I changed the throttle cable as can be a bit of an **** to route so it works properly....I'm a bodge meister but little things like that can get on me t*ts . That said IMMSMR , the naked cable just didn't want to sit right.
* Should be able to get away without changing choke cable as it doesn't do much

Option two---using 'Faired' Top Yoke
*OE bars not a problem
*Headlight bracket still needs changing. Same as above----after market(which most look a bit cack lol) or a 'cut and shut' as above.
*'Faired' Clutch cable
*Throttle cables
*use your 'naked' cltch cable as above
** Main issue with using the faired Top yoke is mounting clocks but I think a couple of people have done it on thesite so should be able to help with that.

Think, that's about it. All IMO



Cheers
Ben

Try a PM to Zunkus. He's fairly regular in the site. I'm pretty sure he converted a naked SV into a Cafe racer, so he would have been down this route.

I just found the hard way that the top S model yoke is not interchangeable with the naked bottom yoke. Looks like the forks on the S are slightly further forward than on the naked.
