Ordered a kit yesterday with some black bars. I'm guessing I'll need some new bar end weights to go with the new bars.

The kit comes with bar end weights :D

Do all the kits come with bar ends and grips?

Re: Renthal Bar 998cc.com Conversion
 

Cool :cool:

They weren't in the items listed in the kit description, so that's a sweet bonus.

Yep, mines the 99-02 model.

Re: Renthal Bar 998cc.com Conversion
 

Yes, but i am running out of black barends so silver or gold

Re: Renthal Bar 998cc.com Conversion
 

Matt,

Order has been place via your website. I want everything in black please.

Cheers,
Dan

I've just fitted the kit and can agree that it's a great modification to do. Handling is improved at all speeds. In my opinion the character of the bike is altered. Every time I ride now it's as though the bikes saying to me 'come on I want to play!' Fitting the kit is a bit of a faff, but it's worth it. As already said, windblast is more noticeable, but not overly so.

Pity the kit doesn't come with a longer clutch cable as the original really is too short no matter how you route it. I'll probably try one from a DL650 V-Strom. You can liberate a bit more wiring by disconnecting the block connectors in front of the air box and un-looping cable from around the frame before re-connecting. I did this but it then means moving the horn.

Phil (specialone) fitted one to his bike and he managed to get round the problems with a bit of re-routing etc. First time I have heard of the clutch cable being an issue however?
