Is this an SV fuelcap? - SV650.org

I ordered a replacement pointy ignition / lockset from ebay and this is what's come -

It doesn't look like my old fuel cap, so I'm wondering if they've sent me a curvy ignition by mistake?

looks the same as my curvy one. They may well both fit though. give it a try

Are the electrics / connector the same for the ignition block?

Just a bit annoyed as the picture / description said 2003 onwards so if it does turn out the whole lot is off a curvy they've sold me a part that could have at least a couple of years more wear.

No worries, just hoping someone does

Aye. Have you had a peek? Probably easier said than done on a faired bike but you could look at the wire colours on your existing one and the type of connector.

Thats a curvy one.

Pointy look a bit different, don't know if it will fit though.

Looks like curvy/SRAD era stuff to me

Will it work with the pointy? I'm leaning towards sending it back even if it does due to them fibbing about the age / condition...

Dunno!

I know the pointy has a different tank filler hole etc. so I'd hazard a guess at no.
