Re: Gilles Tooling Handlebar Conversion 2016
I had considered that, but I've read that overall it's quite uncomfortable on the SV. I may give it a try anyway. Just to see how she likes it.

I think we're just going to have to go with a bar replacement. We both really like the look of clip ons, but there doesn't appear to be an easy way of adding them without a lot of effort. Hence I'd hope the Gilles 2016 conversion bars might work. They almost look like clip-ons. But alas it sounds like there's no chance they'll fit. Last edited by elwon20; 19-06-19 at 08:25 AM. |

Re: Gilles Tooling Handlebar Conversion 2016
Aha, just worked out how they fit, the top of the clamp is removed.
(feel a bit dim now) Still think ace bars would be better and jota bars better still. Maybe its because I'm old. |

Re: Gilles Tooling Handlebar Conversion 2016
Definitely? Wow that's good news! But how can you be so sure? Is the new 2016 top yoke identical to the classic naked top yoke?
-- Edit -- I've ordered the Gilles bars, so I guess we'll soon find out! Last edited by elwon20; 20-06-19 at 09:34 AM. |

Re: Gilles Tooling Handlebar Conversion 2016
After you posted the link with the photo of them fitted to a bike, it reminded me I'd seen them before on a custom special back in 2016 at Cupar Motorcycles.

Re: Gilles Tooling Handlebar Conversion 2016
Ah okay. Well that increases my hopes...
Although after I ordered them I told the Mrs, showed her a picture and she replied "I'd prefer them in chrome..." So it's possible they'll be going back anyway *facepalm* |

Re: Gilles Tooling Handlebar Conversion 2016
