Re: 2002 sv650s handlebar conversion
if you cut some length off the renthals you can use naked cables. you have to remember that the Mk1 (curvy) has choke cables as well.
other cable options are available from the likes of Venhill. maybe selling your sport and buying a naked might be a better idea. top yoke conversions can get expensive. |

Re: 2002 sv650s handlebar conversion
Hope it went well. Probs too late to reply, now?
The options were 1) standard cables from calipers to splitter, one longer cable to the lever, possibly off a naked but a single custom line is cheaper than two? or 2) two custom lines from calipers to lever, steal the double banjo bolt off the splitter. This is a 'race' setup. twice the price but new braided lines all the way. Mine was a cow to bleed... consider taking the lever off to get the air bubbles into the piston etc. Watch the routes, and tension esp on the throttle return, to get the throttle snapping back properly for the MOT and your sanity. |
