Higher bars...
...just wondering, the SV650S clip-on's are pretty low and after sitting on an 02 Fazer today it did feel much more comfortable. So, if I do find the SV too 'sporty' can u fit the naked bikes bars to it to raise them a bit?
Just a'wondering...!

You can get a conversion kit (I think Helibars used to do them) howevere many people start of with this concern and then just get used to it

I'm just concerned its gonna ruin my lower back on anything over 100 miles...! I'll see how I get on, as long as there's the option...

I've ridden 170 miles in a day on my curvy 70 of which were with a pillion and I was fine. You do get used to the riding position after a few weeks. Personally I find riding with a pillion a lot more tiring than riding solo. My brother (who was pillion) is a top passenger but it's still more work riding 2 up.

Looks like it would be a LOT more comfortable, however I think i'd suffer the slight annoyance of clip ons for the asthetics (sp?)

I've just fitted the naked top yoke to my curvy S. It makes town riding much more fun.

I've got LSL high-rise flat clipons (for a GSXR thou) fitted at the moment... In some ways I love them, for slow sped they're superb and they're very comfy. A good middle ground between bars and clipons really. But for cracking on, they don't work as well for me as the old clipons did. Less weight over the front, but I think it's mainly that the riding position just seems to disconnect me a little. Racing crouch feels a little daft
Then again, I never had a comfort issue with the stock ones, or even with the GSXR ones which were lower still, so I'm probably not feeling the benefits as much as you might.
