Fj1200 bar swap - SV650.org

11-11-15, 06:10 PM

Got myself a pair of fj1200 clipons off the bay

I'm understanding that I need a +1" longer brake hose

Where should I go about looking for one ?

Will any of the other control cables/wiring need extending?

Cheers

If you've got an S model, then get one from a naked, or get some made up.

You might need longer throttle cables, the clutch cable is usually long enough. I also had to use the first part of the naked choke cable on my curvy

Who makes up hoses to length then mate ?

Are cheap eBay bar ends compatible?

The FJ12 clipons look to be a similar rise to the Accossato bars fitted to mine.

You're right that you will need slightly longer front brake lines and you will probably find the clutch cable length ok and that just rerouting the switch gear cables will avoid stress on the cables/loom.
