The fairing came back from it's second chopping session :( No way the Fatbars are gonna work, they are a good 100mm too high...dammit !! Back to the Ultra Low bars which now fit pe...

Re: Top Yoke Bar Conversion

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

All too expensive for the 10 times a year I go on a ride.

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...

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.
