Handle Bars
Ok here is my situation, last year around april i decided to trade in my Hyosung 125 GTR for a SV650N 2003, everything has been great since then the bike handles like a dream and the torque is amazing but i have one problem with it and thats the handle bars.
It has been over a year now and i cannot for the life of me become 100% confortable with the riding posistion especially corners becuase sometimes it feels like the bars just want to go inwards. Basically what i wanted to ask originally is that i wanted to know if there was a way to change my bars the the ones on a SV650S? so that im in a more of a leaned forward posistion than upright. Thanks. |

Re: Handle Bars
Why not try some straighter 'superbike' bars. They should have less rise and give a more leaned forward position.

Re: Handle Bars
Not entirely sure what you mean, do you have any links to any websites that sell them?

You will find that all cables will be to long, they are longer on the 'N' models due to the higher bars. |

Re: Handle Bars
I had the same issue, along with bending one side forward with my knee. another story there.
I went on busters and bought some drag bars... once here took about 1 1/2" of each side and they fit like a dream with clearence. Allows you to get right in if need be. |
