Will Hel Braided hoses fit if I change 'bars?
 

Alright Chaps and Chapesses?

I've got a pair of HEL braided hoses waiting to be fitted to my K5 naked, which currently has the standard bars.

My question is, would these HEL lines fit if I put Renthal bars on.

I'm not sure which Renthal bars atm - I keep looking at their website and there's jsut too much choice so feel free to suggest something.

I would have thought that if they are the Renthal low bars, you wont have an issue. I had Renthals on mine with all of the standard pipes & cables

How much higher are the low bars. I'm looking for something slightly higher and wider than standard.

i had renthals on my bike before my crash not sure which ones but they have a brace if that helps but my goodridge brake lines were very tight and so were my throttle cabels

Cheers Guys. I thought that might be the case.

Depends which renthals. There are some almost exactly the same as OEM shape, just not made of tissue paper. There are also 1001 other varieties.

Don't you have Renthals, Chris?

Yes, mine are "ultra lows" if I remember rightly, very strong bars which is nice. They don't bend in the tiniest of lowsides like the stock ones!

I will look at the number on them when I remember.

I'm looking for something slightly higher and wider, but the Renthal website is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard in telling me this and it reckons they don't do any to fit the SV

if they're lower and the lines would have fitted you standards you'll probably be a-okay.
