Hi,

Not sure what's happened, but I've gone mod happy. For inspiration, I quite like this example:

Anyway, I like the look of clip ons for the SV650 and wondered what the benefits are? I'll be riding my bike to the gym most days of the week and then for a joyride whenever the sky is blue - so not really commuting. At the end of the summer, I'll be riding the bike back from Norway through Europe to the UK so the bars need to be comfortable for touring as well.

Any thoughts on comfort, handling, and of course any recommendations would be great!

Thanks,

The SV already has clip ons. What you might be after are Renthals. Check SV650.org forums, there's loads written about bar conversions there. Expensive though.

Ah, thanks for that. Just seems that a lot of the mods I've seen show lower bars and I thought those were referred to as clip ons.

Edit: Actually, it looks like my bike already has these renthal bars so I'm looking at getting clip ons. Any recommendations from SV owners?
