For owners of the High bar models (or early models with high wide bars), it is common to change the handlebars to a lower bars or custom bars to improve aesthetic and comfort. Outside of Japan in most regions the W650 was only offered with high bars from (99~00), however in Japan there was an option for a low bar spec W650 or a high bar spec W650.

FAQ:
Q: What's the difference between 99-03 "low bars spec" clutch cables and the 04-08 "low bars spec" cable?
A: There is no real difference at all. The 04~08 type cables have a slightly extended outer PVC covering and cable outers by 10mm compared to the older 00~03 cables, which could just be a manufacturing difference or for the addition of a cable guide. End fittings and pull lengths are exactly the same length so adjustment is not changed or affected at all.
Q: What's the difference between "low bars spec" clutch cables and the "high bars spec" cable?
A: The length is the obvious difference. Low bar spec is approx. 1210mm (case + fitting), high bar (up bar) spec is approx. 1340mm (so -130mm overall case / fitting length for low spec). This makes a big difference when fitting lower bars as the factory up bar cable is extremely long.
*Also, low bar spec cables have a metal end with an approx. 35-degree bend rather than the straight cable end. As the routing is changed when lowered this bend helps with guiding the cable.
Q: Can the "low bars spec" clutch cable be used with clip on bars?
A: The length is ok for clip on bars. However, if we have clip on spec cables available, they are the first choice as they lose an extra 95mm. But if clip on spec cable is out of stock these will also work as an alternative.
Q: What brake line suits the "low bars spec" conversion?
A: The 850mm D spec line (60595) suits low bar conversions with low bar, Touring bar, UK bar and Conti bar or similar. *However, clip on bars use (#60593) 750mm D Spec line.
