Alright I did it!

Bought a pair of renthal streetfighters and although I had to drill holes for the switch gear they went straight on with no major problems. Just to make sure I took the bike to Matlock, Bath and it was great. Can't quite explain why but handling was much more stable and the bike corners sooooo smooth. Thanks for all the advice, this forum is superb!!!!

Mine is 1999 models as yours - quite an easy mod to do - use top yolk off naked version - switchgear all fits
BIGGEST RENTHAL STREETFIGHTER BARS FROM BANDITMANIA FITTED- (massive rise)
Banditmania do them with switchgear holes already pre drilled for extra couple of quid - I have put naked top-yolk (25 QUID E BAY) on mine - all cables do fit but need careful re-routing - longer front brakehose fitted (just got a complete front set cheap off off e bay and used the one of the splitter to lower fork hoses in place of master cylinder to splitter) - - I have double bubble screen fitted which has been modded/cut out (really easy) - had to use chewys mirror extentions as all you can see is you elbows without this mod (you could make your own I guess) - the whole shooting match was in the region of £100 - happy to send you a pic of mine if required

Drilling the location holes for the lugs of the switchgear is dead easy, just done mine.
Note the position of lug on each, offer up to the place you want them, pencil line, dot punch the position, small drill first, something like a 2mm then i think it was around a 5mm for the lug.
Job done, took me 10 mins.
