Can it be ridden easily in a non-hooligan way? Does it behave at lower speeds and I guess most importantly is the steering "lighter"?

If I did the bar conversion on the SV I know I wouldn't get the money back if I sold it, in fact it may even be worth less, which is part of the reason I'm sceptical about doing the conversion to solve my problems... if it doesn't work then I'd be spending more on it, then lose from selling and have even less for something else. But if I sell the SV as it is with clip ons and add on the bar conversion money I'd be nearer a Striple, albeit an older early model with a fair amount of miles on. Looks like they sometimes go for about £3200. My SV with all the add ons right now might be worth £2300 ish and the bar conversion with parts is likely to be about £300 to £400?
