clip on mirrors and side waterproof boxes 2 questions at once
hi,
two questions at once to save another thread. The bike is S version K6 07 plate or something close to this .... probably. 1. I would like to convert S version to sort of naked Frankenstein monster. The issue is I would like to keep clipons. The problem appear as mirror attachments. Anybody has an idea how to solve this? BTW. I like and use mirrors, tiny law cheaters are out of question . 2. Looking for side cases for bike cation trips. Something looking reasonable good on SV , not bulletproof alluminium cases loved by "big adventurers". The key point is waterproof. Staying in Scotland, it is always raining ... even if you think it isn't ( you just didn't realize your boots are full of water ) Thanks in advance. Lukas

You could always fit bar-end mirrors but you might have to lose the current bar-end weights

Re: clip on mirrors and side waterproof boxes 2 questions at once
gilies variobars and bandit (K5-6 IIR) sport mirrors as they have longer stalks. another problem is throttle cables and brake lines need to be longer as well. its a rabbit hole.....
your better off just forking out for a comfort bar kit. i cant help with panniers as they ALL look stupid on the SV. |

I thought about bar ends, the issue is the mirrors will be too far back to be useful I think Quote:
have no plans to raise bars, at least for now. still can touch my toes . those look nice https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f3/e3...dc938a8659.jpg will have to find proper brackets and possibly they will fit. I think sw-motech aero abs side cases look quite neat. but of course no mounting system to K6 because why bother with such old bikes? shame sw-motech, shame.

ahh the penny dropped..
for mirror attachment your better off fitting the naked lever brackets as room might be a bit tight using aftermarket clamps. IIR the brake one is just a bar and the clutch one is a bracket. |

I had a small bar end mirror on my SV for years as the normal mirrors even with extenders have a poor view. It was a pushbike type and went on the end of the bar weight using a slightly longer bolt. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk
