I did, however, do a rough clean-up and there were no differences that couldn't be written off as camera angle/position.
I thought that the pegs were lower on the nekid or have I been misinformed

Nope they are not - I checked and double-checked this as I thought that to be the case.

I'm confused now too, thought it was different nekid to faired, if not then it's different K3 to K4+

Yes that too, the K3 uses similar to the curvy levers, the K4 hangs the lever a bit further forward on a seperate pivot.

I'll be going for nakid bars on my SVS when I do my front end conversion. Either I'm going to buy a top yoke with clamps for bars or modify an existing GSXR top yoke.

I was a bit worried that it might look a bit daft, but the evidence from the pointy picture seems to suggest it'll look ok.

Its the one thing I can't get on with the SVs is the bar position, gives me back ache and hand/wrist ache in a short spell. Spoils my riding experience

Anybody done this already

Can anybody give me the height of the bar risers and the distance between them (centre to centre) on a naked curvy?

I've got a faired pointy with the gsxr front end. Have just put on LSL touring clip ons but won't be trying it out until the decent weather. Can get pics if you want

But yes
No because TSM's is a butchered faired bike not a naked with clip-ons.
