A bit of a long shot, does anyone have a set of NTV650 handlebars (tubular) and a left footpeg (rider) kicking about?
I decided that sticky side down just wasn't exciting enough and hit a patch of gravel and sent my poor bike flying across a roundabout in rush hour. Luckily the engine bars and my knee took most of the damage. Looks like the previous owner dropped the bike and straightened the bars before, not sure I can get away with it a second time. Seems like handlebars are like hens teeth!

Cheers numpty, think you have saved the day! Just gave him a call and he has a set for a very reasonable price. Will update when they are delivered

Handlebars arrived and are spot on! Rick unfortunately smashed his phone and lost my messages so there was a bit of delay in getting them but all came good in the end. Nice easy guy to deal with
Been having a bit of a problem with the throttle not returning when the bars are turned to the right after swapping them over though, not too sure what's going on there. I cleaned and lubricated all of the moving parts and the cables themselves, they seem to move freely and the cable is running in what looks to be the correct route but must still be getting tight on right turn.

Throttle cable routing; Hi Derek, I think this may be of some use to you... Hoping I've managed to transfer it across properly!

Thanks Chaz. I did look at these when trying to figure it out, looks like I missed that throttle cables run behind the brake hose! Mine are running over the hose which is cable tied to something. I'll cut the tie and give re-routing a go when I get a chance. Seems mad that the cables are so short that 10mm could make all the difference!

Cheers, just for info really; Deauville throttle cables are longer than Revere/NTV. (Couldn't say how much though.)
