The stem hole is 10mm to far forwards...

It would be possible to modify the hole but, to be honest I couldn't justify all the work as the ignition barrel etc would need playing with too.

It could be used as a lower yoke reinforcement mod though :wink:

Ahh yeah, see what you mean now! I can't see why not, that would give you a shorter wheelbase too :think:

Carl, I think there were two models of top yoke on the deuville, the one I tried was 96' or 97' I think..

I remember looking at the deuville yokes and that year seemed the closest match, close but no cigar!
