Good progress on the fitting today. Until... fitting the supplied throttle cables. Attaching a few pics here of the supplied cables in case anyone can tell me if I'm going mad trying to work out how the supplied cables would ever fit? Have I been supplied with the wrong ones? Do I have a non standard throttle fitted? The curve doesn't match up at all. The ends are very different to the originals, including the fittings etc.

but they are the ones supplied from Topyokes with the kit. Supplied as the correct ones for a K8 Sv650s.


Time to email Matt? Oh dear.. here comes the fun...

I'm guessing this would be more suitable?

Very fast email back from Matt. He says he'll refund the cables he supplied if I return them and I should get my own as it'll be quicker.
So.. if anyone has any advice if the extra 60mm on those Venhill cables will be enough it'd be great to have some input. Otherwise I'll just take another chance and order and hopefully not have to send another pair back wrong. Need to get it sorted asap as mechanic friend currently has my dismantled bike taking up his workshop space.
Cheers in advance for any help anyone can offer.

somebody had better bookmark this as i'm not digging all this info out again.

these sizes have been tried and tested on a topyokes conversion on an SV650 SK8 with Renthal Medium Road Bars. i have the whole kit here in front of me off the bike and it all worked perfect on the bike.

front brake hoses:
1 x 840mm eye centre to eye centre. 2x 20deg 10mm banjo.
1 x 800mm eye centre to eye centre. 1x straight 10mm banjo, 1x 20deg 10mm banjo. (right hand calliper)

throttle cables:
the ones i custom made have the longest inner at 890mm (were a tad too long) so you would have to measure the longest inner (thin cable) and see what the difference is.
remember that its not one size fits all due to different bars.

NOTE: if you want a perfect size then you need to install the top yoke, ignition switch, bars and throttle cable housing in the correct place then remove the cables from the throttle bodies, turn the bars to full (right) lock then measure the gap between the old cable and the throttle body lock nut adjuster allowing for a little wiggle room. once you have the difference in gap length then you jut get new cables mad up with that difference.

clutch cable:
Suzuki GSF 650 K5 Bandit 05 Clutch Cable
Outer is 108.5cm - Inner is 115.5cm

Thanks Bibio. Amazing help.


Got another message from Matt after I sent him the photo of the old and supplied cables for comparison. He's seeing what he has in stock. I think I'm going to source my own though.
As you can see in the photos, not only are the ends totally wrong, the lengths are dodgy. One is the same length as the originals that have been removed and the other is longer! Not sure what the logic, or lack of there is.

Original longer throttle inner measures 790mm. Venhill state that those extended cables are 60mm longer than originals. I'm going to phone them Monday to confirm what that actual length is. If the longer Venhill is 850mm (790+60) then that would tally with your 890mm being slightly too long and that I'm using the low bars instead of the medium. Not very exact workings, but looks like getting in the right ball park. I'm going to do as you say and measure the gap with old cables fitted Monday morning too hopefully.


Thanks again for all your help.

you'll be fine using the +60 venhills with the low bars.

mind and pop up a finished shot when your done.

BTW to attach the brake rez and bracket you can use a 22mm P clip on the bars.
