It has to make contact with the bikes frame or otherwise designed stop, if different, without touching anything else, like the fairing...he said !

Re: Top Yoke Bar Conversion
Bikes now in bits again :( Failed MOT, as 2mm away from full lock on steering. Fairing has gone off to have another 10mm removed and whilst that is being done, I am changing to Fat Bars and losing the Renthal Grips for softer Prolites. Also gonna do the hoses again and fit a smaller brake fluid rese...

Re: what would you swap your storm for
KTM 1290 for me or the MT-09 Tracer or Ducati Multistrada

Re: Top Yoke Bar Conversion
Fantastic job done to the fairing, looks original. :thumbup: Sorry to hear of your yoke issues. Was that CNC coolncomfy firm by any chance.

Re: Top Yoke Bar Conversion
The standard bars have a big weight internally, not just the bar ends, to damp down the bars. Don't know what the other guys have done but I expect you will have to expect some vibes. Also make sure your carbs are fully sync'd as that will help with cutting down vibration in general. Looks good BTW...

Re: Top Yoke Bar Conversion
It's all done :D Pictures below of the new bars all finished. Ignore the braided hoses which are way too long, I will make a new set tomorrow, just couldn't wait any longer to get it up and running. Can't quite get full lock, but can put on steering lock ok. Had to lengthen the horn cable as well. L...

Oh, and the top yoke !!! Now that's where I have to contain myself. :roll: I have had to order in some of the LSL...

Re: Top Yoke Bar Conversion
Sent the fairing off today to be chopped professionally and then resprayed so it looks original again.
Still waiting for top yoke, hopefully two will arrive together and the whole thing can be put back to a rideable bike in one neat job.
