I have an emgo on my 03 SV and it works fine. One thing i would make sure to do is put that shifter in a comfortable position. The linkage is cross threaded and tricky when you first mess with it. Make sure your shifter is not angled too far up or down. I had mine angled down a little too far and had to really bent to shift. I adjusted it so its not angled, just at 0 degrees. It works fine now, and my boots fit nicely under it.
