Flat bar conversion - who's done it?
Just out of interest, as it seems a lot on here have ditched the clip-ons. Who has done the conversion?

Re: Flat bar conversion - who's done it?
It was the best modification I ever did, turned my bike from a painful horror into a glorious day long pleasure machine and hooligan. Still got the fairing and run a Renthal with 4 inch risers. Needed a bit of work doing to make it all fit, but it seriously was worth ever second of effort.

I've got loads of slack in all the cables, so rising further will be a 10min job. Nearly 50/50 on the response so far. |

Re: Flat bar conversion - who's done it?
My throttle cables and brake lines have plenty of slack but my clutch cable has hardly any. I routed it differently which has made a difference but still couldn't go another inch. Have you used a DL650 clutch cable?
Mine came as a complete conversion kit with different top yoke etc so not sure if the DL cable would be longer or not, will have to research a bit.

Re: Flat bar conversion - who's done it?
I used a DL650 clutch cable and it works just fine. PLenty of slack even with a huge lift and layback on my bars.

Re: Flat bar conversion - who's done it?
No need for flat bar conversion, with my Gilles Variobars, keep the clip on look with the comfort of flat bars.
Saves finding a naked top yoke or going to Matt Yokes
