I'm just going off advice I was given on here. Some said the effect of to 70 profile tyre would be cancelled out by the 20mm drop on the forks.

Worth noting that moving the forks within the yokes doesn't really lower or raise the handlebars with respect to your riding position - it lowers and raises the entire front end of the bike which isn't the same thing.

To raise the bars on a naked bike you can get special spacers to raise the actual bar clamps (check those will work with the SV before buying them however).

Yes, that's what the garage said too. I have learned something. Thanks for noticing what the actual question was!
