Re: Bottom fork yoke

Best you send one to me for testing in NZ. They may not work well here so we better check.
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.

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 ...
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
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.

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.

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
Chris.
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.
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!
