No, oddly I think it's the opposite. I'm so used to sports bikes I just can't seem to get used to having high bars, after 1000 miles on the fazer, I still feel like I'm riding a chopper!
Anyway, I managed to get these changed today before it got dark - and get out for a spirited 15 miles ride..... Feels nice, more noticably different than when I went from standard bars to 758s last month. The kiwer clamps aren't offset like the originals, so it's brought the bars about 10mm back but put them about 25-30mm lower.
For me, it's much better, but need a some more time, preferably midday sometime soon so the tarmac isn't damp and gritted, so I can push the bike a little and see how it feels riding quicker.
So for anyone else looking to drop the bars and not willing to pay for GYT-R bits, or wait forever for SV ones, the Triumph ones will fit.
