Handle Bar Change out
 

Hello Britts From A Yank.

I have a 2006 SV650S. I turly enjoy the bike other than the clip on handle bars. I use the Bike mostly to and from work, so comfort is the issue. I recently purchased a factory SV650 not S tripple tree clamp with handle bar trisers. A pair of super bike handle bars and replaced the original upper tripple tree clamp.To instal the new handle bars using all of the original brake hoses, throttle cable, and factory wires for starter and blinkers. Step 1 place covering around the tank and fairing, to avoid scratches. Step 2 remove everything from the clip ons.Step 3 remove tripple tree clamp (the Head bolt is a 32 mm) the ignition is attatched using security screws. pick up security screw driver bits at local hard ware store. Step 4 remove clip ons. Step 5 now the fun stuff, you will need to remove all wiring from the left side of the bikes frame that is held by a wire clamp. this is easy to find and remove you can see the wires exiting a hole in the frame and there is the clip. this will allow for a few inches for movement of the handle bars. in that clamp is also the throttle wires. Step 5 push the throttle wires back into the frame hole ( lift up the gas tank) then run the wires out of the from hole on the right, this will allow for several inches of wire. Step 6 remove the front brake like frome the front of the frame, it has a frame clamp attatched to it. You will need to clip the black plastic wire ties that hold the brake line to the speedo wire. Step 7 re instal the ignition to the new tripple tree clamp and put tripple tree clamp on the forks. intall all the clamp on stuff, clutch, brake, throttle, turn sigs and starter clamp housings Step 8 Put handle bars on handle bar risers and you are done,, almost you will notice that the brake fluid reservor is just dangling because the factory mount was bolted to a hole in the clip on handle bar,,,easy fix. take the top bolt out of the blake lever clamp mount. that bolt is 20mm. buy a 35mm to 40mm bolt. put the new bolt through the mounting hole at the base of the brake fluid reservor then into the brake lever clamp.It looks neat and clean and low. there is just one more thing you will need to buy just a little bit longer brake line hose that runs from the reservor to the brake handle,,, for the Britts about 15 mm to 20mm longer or 1 to 2 inches......lol.... No offense If I could move there I would.....

I have been looking at getting S type handle bars...wish I knew you were looking, we could have traded...

If, by chance, you are looking for the less aggressive rear sets I'm also looking at getting some more aggressive ones. I believe there is a slight difference in them, but they are interchangable if you are interested.

Re: Handle Bar Change out
 

OK then:

1" = 25.4mm, if you're doing any estimating. Or you might experience some problems :roll: .

and

If it has to be anything, then Brits, not Britts. Please!:thumbsup:

Hey, Paul. Where abouts in Florida do you live? I used to live down in south Jacksonville a while back. Now I'm up in Clemson, South Carolina where we have some mountains and I can't decide which I like more. Definitely more fun for biking up here. I'm only about 10 minutes from some nice curvy mountain roads!

Can't say much about the weather though. Still in the 90s every day and humid as all get out...
