NO it was a days work.
I had to order custom leads and because they didn't have the originals to work from I had to order those.
It's super high and dominant on the road now I love it.

Hey Shrek how did the conversion go? I'm pretty keen to follow suit so would really appreciate some more info from you if possible? By info I mean where did you get your top yoke from and how did you get on with the hoses and cables? If you've got any pics they would be cool to see

I've been doing a bit digging through some breakers yards and it turns out that the top yoke off a Bandit650 post 2012 has the same top yoke as a post 2017 SV650, the same stanchion diameter, bolt positions and key hole alignment which I've just bought on ebay for £20

I've also bought a bundle of throttle cables and front ABS lines off another bandit for £20.

All I've had to do is buy a new clutch cable off wemoto and a new set of bolts.

total cost UNDER £75!! plus I have the old renthal bars off my last bike that fit the risers.

who needs a comfort kit!
