New Gladius owner. Renthal ultra low bars? - SV650.org

19-08-12, 12:16 PM

Hi,
First post here. Picked up my shiny new black Gladius yesterday and am loving it. Done the sportsbike, cruiser and classic thing over the last 20 years and always wanted a funky little v twin roadster. It was a Monster or the Gladius and having ridden both I'm chuffed I got the Suzuki.
Ok, first question and I'm sure someone has asked/posted this before. I love the look of black Renthals and was just wondering if anyone had fitted a set of ultra lows? I'm guessing they fit fine but looking for confirmation.
Cheers.

Mods so far...hugger and a fender extenda....this is gonna' get expensive!!!

I have rental flat bars on my SV. They have a bit of sweep but no rise. I like them because they put just a little more weight on the front end, and I think they look good.
I'll putvsome pics up when I get to my laptop.

Excellent, cheers. I've always loved the look of Renthals (too many issues of Streetfighters as a kid!) and reckon some black ones would suit the bike a treat.

Here's one with standard mirrors on... yuk...

And one with some lurverleeee Oberon mirrors.

Aaaaaarrrgghhh! My eyes!

You should have put a warning about your ugly boat being in the pics. Twice!

Yeah right !

You're just jealous because mine is like a clean version of yours. (Minus a few cc)

Oh yeah, I forgot about your limited vocabulary ......

BTW Canterbilly, sorry to derail your thread.

Haha...don't worry, it's not a proper thread until it's been hijacked for comedy purposes so derail away.

Love those mirrors and the bars look smart. I was looking to fit the Renthal ultra lows as opposed to the flats, just find the flats too...err flat!
Oh, and thanks....I've now added a Sat Nav holder to the ever growing list of things that I 'absolutely cannot do without'

Great to have a choice of accessories too, my last bike was a VN900 Custom CAF and you could hardly get anything for them without going down the chrome, leather and tassel road....and that's a bad road!!
