Bottom fork yoke
Re: Bottom fork yoke
Best you send one to me for testing in NZ. They may not work well here so we better check.
Re: Bottom fork yoke
no problem if you pay for it, but this one is for 45 mm forks :-) Right now I don´t know the final price and I need to ride it on my bike. It is not cheap, price would be somewhere at 200-220 GBP + shipping, so it is question if there would be real buyer.NZSpokes wrote:Best you send one to me for testing in NZ.

After that, I can imagine I will send one piece and wait for good feedback or return, and your track vid seemed to me fast enough, what I remember :-)

Well it certain looks the business keep up the good work StephanStephan wrote:new lower triples are ready for the test fit on my bike. I will take better photos on daylight, and tell more in single topic if everything goes well ...

Re: Bottom fork yoke
new lower triples are on the bike, test was without problems. There is approx 470g weight saving, surprise for me, I didn´t expect any :-) There are no stoppers on new triples, but on the other side, bolts are longer than fitted, so in total it is similar.
I am going for the test ride today and try not to blame myself, but real test will be on racetrack.

Re: Bottom fork yoke
not sure how succesfull I was, because after test ride, I feel like there is significant improvement in handling. Front is now firm and solid, without vague feeling. Cornering and braking seem to be much better.Stephan wrote:I am going for the test ride today and try not to blame myself

It would seem Daugherty Motorsports has the same idea.

Re: Bottom fork yoke
I still wonder what a new yoke on the stock forks would do.

If try one lol
Re: Bottom fork yoke
interesting, but my idea was different. This lower triple was designed as direct replacement for old steel honda one´s. You just swap the one part with new bearing. I didn´t do upper triple, as it is only cosmetic, not performance improvement.NZSpokes wrote:It would seem Daugherty Motorsports has the same idea.

I believe it is noticeable upgrade on 45mm as well as original vtr 41 mm forks. If I would have these made before I swap to blade forks, probably I would have stayed with oem ones which were tuned as well, and in expensive way.
Re: Bottom fork yoke
More clamping area on the new bottom yoke, plus you now have two bolts instead of one on each clamp, that will be making a difference I'm sure in making it feel firmer.

Are you going to be using bolts in those two holes for steering stops

Re: Bottom fork yoke
there are machined small cylinders with threads and secured by nuts, trimmed not to hit front bracket. Horn is attached at bottom to one of these.sirch345 wrote:Are you going to be using bolts in those two holes for steering stops

Re: Bottom fork yoke
I have a Coerce fork brace on standard forks modded to suit my needs.
I love the look of this quality kit, however I can't help but wonder how much better it is than the standard lower with a fork brace fitted.
For a bling factor it is "Cool" and I would love one for my bike.
Any chance of a standard one being reviewed by a member on here?
Great work!

Re: Bottom fork yoke
I had standard forks with coerce brace, and brace doesn´t help much imo, difference is small. I am now checking mate´s working capability and willing to cooperate (he made CAD draw, stem, stoppers, and press the parts together for me), and when I will be sure I am able to make another one for VTR 41mm forks, I will create feeler topic in workshop section.kenmoore wrote:I love the look of this quality kit, however I can't help but wonder how much better it is than the standard lower with a fork brace fitted.

But right now I can tell that final price would be 210 GBP, not really cheap.
