Drilled S top triple, rerouted cables and drum tight wiring?

I'd love to do this sometime as well but the wiring is something that I don't want to screw with.

There's a clip you can undo inside the frame behind the head tube to get lots of slack in the cables.

I hadn't considered that, thanks! That doesn't expose the plugs to more weather though, does it?

installed longer clutch and throttle cables to give me additional room to raise my handlebar. The stock cables did sort of ok for the standard LSL conversion with BM Daytona bar- even though the clutch was pretty heavy and the throttle, too, when turning left. I especially disliked the clutch cable with the top metal part (the S-model) pointing in the wrong way and causing friction and wear.

I got a SV-N naked clutch cable and motion pro +4 inches throttle cable. Much better now, and installed additional BM riser kit for another inch up and turned the handlebar back to convert the inch up in about an inch pull-back.

I'm thinking of doing a handlebar/cable swap from
a DL650. Hoping it will all be a direct fit.

Fender delete. Finished messing with fairings and grab handles.

Nah it stays relatively in the same location behind the frame.

I considered lighting my SV on fire today...or ghost riding it off a cliff.

Sounds like a story!

FML, I swear I didn't see it when looking through the list! That's even more :bs:

Installed SV Racing Motosliders.

Easy install, just had to cut some plastic...

Two brothers shorty. Had to go 2 shims on the needle and 3 turns out on a/f.

Re-greased the front calipers on the SV then bled the brakes on it and the FJR. Did the FJRs clutch too, it had never been changed. More work to come with new tires and some fork bushings coming for the FJR.

Stared at her, longingly.

Took off the airbox and checked all the connections and hoses that I could reach during my lunch break.

Installed Givi V40 top case..

The plan is to use the side bags, and use the
top case when I go on long rides where I need
to carry more stuff!

Now that I have the top Givi rack mounted, I can finish
up fabbing the mounts for the Kappa 21 bags. That will
also help tie the top case in to the bike. (looks wise)

Finished installing a zx14 shock and put my Traxxion .975 fork springs with 15 weight oil in. It rained here so I didn't get to take it for a ride but wow is it stiff compared to before!

So I'd like to put on a new pair of bar end sliders on my 08 SV650S, but I'm unsure if the Woodcraft sliders I found on STG will fit. They say they fit clip-ons and bars with an inner diameter of 5/8", but I've only been able to find measurements for the outer diameter which is 7/8".

Does anyone know the inner diameter measurement for the stock clip-ons?
