As the 550 uses footrest rubbers that are held by bolts going through the rubber and threaded into the bar and the 500 doesn't have that, if you swap the bars over and drill holes for the bolts unless you get them right they don't line up and the rubber sits at an angle.

This sounds far more likely to me Ken, I'll go take a look and a few photos

Something not right there Dom. The rear brake pedal is miles too high for starters. The dot on the pedal and the dot on the rear brake actuator arm are supposed to align.
