So what changes / mods have you made to your bike, I'm guessing 1 or 2

Oh dear we're back to this again.

So far 5000 miles with no locator holes for the switchgear, I'm still alive.

I have the Ultra-Lows on my K7. I got mine pre-drilled from Banditmania
You don't have to cut them if you don't want to. They are a little wider but the stock cables, wires, and hoses will fit. The throttle cables and the wires for the left housing are a bit too short, but taking them out of the guide brackets will give you some extra length. Just make sure they sit well and don't get mashed og bent when you turn the steering.

It's a 2002 SV6550S with naked top yoke, flat drag bars, hel lines, wave discs, racetech emulators and springs, Hagon rear shock, Aprillia RS125 nose fairing, sharkskinz tail piece, 2WJ front muddie, BMC RS filter, 165DJ mains, ignition advancer, velocity stacks, Akra exhaust pipework with homemade end can, corbin seat.
My frame is off being powder coated black and my wheels will be fluro pink, bodywork will be matt black with hot pink racing stripes.

So you're right only 1 or 2 mods

Still kept the locating tabs!

So you know better than Suzuki as well in order to make all those changes then??

Sounds like a pretty cool bike, have you got any photos??

I haven't had locator tabs on my switch gears for 5 years, no problems reported yet!!!

Could it be that the locator tabs are there to help the bloke on the production line turn them all out the same? Not exactly a lot of stress on switchgear, I cut my tabs off and I've never had them move, apart from the half dozen times I've done it to get the positioning right. If you are the sort of person who wants to change the handlebars to get what you want then you are equally unlikely to want to put up with switches in the wrong place.

Gasgas trials bars are the best for road bikes, have the right sort of bend and they're long enough to the bend (even after cutting down) to fit all the switchgear etc on.

They need about 1" off each end

These are the renthal bars I fitted to mine, did need to get a longer clutch cable though, and I'm still working on getting the throttle cables right.
