modified top yoke

as above has anyone done anything with the standard top yoke to accept a set of straight bars,just seeing iff there is a cheaper way around this rather than shelling out on expensive conversion units,and any pics would be great

This is what I did to my CBR6 after dropping it at Silverstone.

Risers from eBay. Just needed to drill 2 holes in the standard yoke to accept them.

I just drilled the std yoke and bolted the risers on - just have to choose the positioning carefully with the casting webs underneath.

this what im thinking of doing i think 3inch risers should just clear the top of the forks,but may also use ones that pull back a bit

I used to Love Pro Taper and Rental Fat Bars on my moto-x bikes but never ridden a road bike that's got flat bars, what's it feel like? is it less stable at speed's

Wouldn't have thought so. IIRC the forks are different diameters between the VTR and CBR.

I could be wrong though?

That's different to the 2 I've bought...so can't be certain it will fit. The ones I've got were specifically listed as super 4 parts...flat face on the yoke and just holes for the risers to bolt to.
