Are you sure it's the medium you have on cos I have my doubts. IIRC as well , someone had problems even with the lows on a pointy. I've had a 'low' on a curvy and I'm pretty sure a 'medium' would not go straight on.

One more question :P , what do you mean by 'change the handling for the better' ?

Cheers

If i remember rightly, the bandit uses raised bars on the faired and unfaired bike, not clip-on's. So changing to renthals on a faired bandit is not as dramatic a change as it is on the SV.

You can use ultralows to drop your weight more over the front, mediums and lows are near original and braced superbike bars will be a little higher.
Cables should be fine.

NB. On the faired SV, only ultralows just fit with original cables but it's not a tidy look. I'm gonna get naked cables at some point.

They do go straight on it gives the bike more feel and control in corners, helps confidence and overall is amazing how it effects the whole package
