First-time poster... so Hi everyone.

We bought my Mrs an Sv650N (08 model) for her first big bike.

She wanted something sporty, so we were going to go with the S model. But she didn't like the front lights *shrugs*. So we went with the N. Of course, the N is much more upright, and she'd like sportier ergo's. So I've bought some Gilles rearsets I found on offer, and am looking at making the bars a little more sporty.

Swapping to the S front end looks like it would be quite a bit of effort.

I found these:
Gilles Tooling Handlebar Conversion 2016
https://www.pureperformancecycles.co...uki-sv650.html

Something like that would be perfect.
They clearly state they're for the new 2016 model. But I wondered if anyone had tried putting them on an earlier bike? From the pictures, they look like they'd fit the N model.

But I can't find them here in the UK yet, and I don't wanna get something imported if it's not going to fit.

Anyone any clues?

Cheers all
