Wee-Strom Handguards and Bar-ends

[clairedelune]

Hi
Now that I've finally returned the bars to standard I'm keen to get:
OEM Bar-ends (or SV650)
OEM Handguards

It's a K7 DL650 but OEM handguards from 04 -06 will fit.  
Thanks

I'm curious, which bars did you have on before? How are you enjoying the Strom, used to it by now?

Hi
When I bought it had Renthals with bar risers.  I didn't like them because of the long reach - to the bars I mean - and I wanted to fit handguards (and hot grips too).  Handguards on the Renthals would foul the screen.  

I ended up with the OEM simply because a pair turned up on ebay at a fair price.  
They're much more comfortable for me with the shorter reach and slightly lower, the narrower width 2-3cm is noticeable but doesn't seem to affect the control.  I haven't noticed any vibes in the steel bars either but I still have to plug the ends.  I don't want any small beasties making their home in my handlebars.

Just need to do more miles now that the cold spell has passed.

Planning on selling the Renthals? If so, which ones are they (I don't see any Renthal bars for the V-Strom on their site) and what are you looking to get for them?

Thanks for your interest but my mechanic (my brother) has commandeered them, and the risers, for his DR350.  It's the least I can do I suppose for servicing my bike.  Well, I might try to do less but I wouldn't get away with it.
