Top Yoke finish

[mattycoops43]

HI folks.

My top yoke is pretty rubbish, paint is not great, Honda sticker half gone. Now I am sorting out the rest of the bike gradually I want this to be better.

Is there a good way to refinish the one I have? What have people done? Powder coat? Polish?

Just wondering what works.

I sent my standard top yoke off for satin black powder coat along with clipons and bar ends etc.

Pretty impressed with the result

lol. how the heck do you do that to a tyre without getting to the edge?

Not mocking, I got chicken strips, but surprised.

Oops that's not what I meant to send!

I'll have to get a better pic next time I'm in the garage, but it's essentially the same but black

Had a search and this is the only one I have for now

Lol! Wrong pic!! It's a front, hence not possible to get to the edge without falling off

As promised dude





The only noteworthy thing to consider, the thickness of the powdercoat stops the clipon locating nubbin from going fully into the yoke recess, so bear that in mind when setting the 5mm drop on the yoke.
