I emailed the seller who is a breaker in the States and he said they are not compatable , the search continues ..................

One note of caution to those considering this conversion. The OP says he re-routed his throttle cables out the frame to the right of the headstock in order to make them reach the now higher bars. If you do this you introduce two very sharp bends into the cables, and I personally wasn't happy with this, especially the angle at which they approach the throttle bodies. I've been trying various options with mine, including different sets of cables from the Suzuki range as I wanted to stay with standard parts, but have yet to find a suitable fix. I know if you buy a conversion kit longer cables come with it, and it's looking more and more as if 'm going to have to go down that route.

Very different forks between thou and 650. Put the whole front end on ;-)

Why are you all looking for top yokes? Just drill the S model one and bolt on some risers.

Re: Handle Bar Change out
 

looked into doing but buying risers and having it drilled would work out more expensive than buying a second hand naked top yoke.

:D

Re: Handle Bar Change out
 

Some of the different yokes have different offsets just to be awkward though. Drill bit at engineering place probably about 50p, hardly going to pay for the PnP on a new yoke :-P

Re: Handle Bar Change out
 

I looked at having an engineering place drill the top yoke as not 100% happy to do myself, something to do with hanging off bars at 70mph which I had drilled! lol

As for the yokes having a different offsets how would you know as the part numbers are the same?

:D

Re: Handle Bar Change out
 

Ask someone who knows more about pointies than me for that one...

Surely an engineering place isn't going to want much to drill 2 holes, it's 2 or 3 minutes, max.

Re: Handle Bar Change out
 

I would rather buy a yoke that was designed specifically and strengthened in the right places for risers than risk anything with a standard yolk by drilling and tapping it .

Re: Handle Bar Change out
 

A fair point. I've not had any problems yet though, nor heard of any.

Re: Handle Bar Change out
 

I know , but I`d have to buy risers etc , drill and tap the yoke etc , easier just to mug somebody on eBaY :D

Re: Handle Bar Change out
 

Managed to fix my cables this weekend. I tried the right side of the frame route again as suggested by the OP (just in case I was cracking up) and the angles are definitely to extreme. It may be that my front end (GSXR USD with Renthal bars) is slightly different to his but there is no way the cables would have lasted long at those angles.
I sorted it in the end by making a new bracket for the front throttle body so that the cables can be mounted at a slightly different angle (actually only the top cable). This then allowed me to run the cables up the front of the tank behind the headstock, just to the left of the left hand tank securing bolt, and across to the throttle tube. I've also got 10mm risers on the front of the tank, and no snorkel, so there is plenty of room. This works a treat with no tight spots or acute angles.

Hey, first post ever, so here goes:
I recently bought a K6 naked and ive so far got: a tail tidy crash bungs, belly pan and hugger.
Im currently trying to fit some renthal Streetfighter bars but looks like i need to route the throttle cables through the righ side of the frame. How do you get them through the left side of the frame, doesnt seem to be enough clearence to push them back without kinking.

Re: Handle Bar Change out
 

I'm not sure you could use the stock cable. Maybe you need to change to cable fro the naked bike? I switched cables when I did the opposite, ie naked to sporty.
