Ignition placement after handlebar and yoke swap?

Post by alternative_vtr »

I am going to swap my bars for flat bars soon and swap the top yoke to do so, what have you guys who have done this conversion done about fitting your ignition?

Same place, but I still have the standard top yoke.

Most conversion will either go on top of the std yoke or provide a replacement yoke that has a key lock mount built in

As amcq said you will need to swap your ignition over to the other top yoke if you go that route .
The ignition is fitted with security bolts so you will have to chisel them loose !

I ground the top of the remaining metal flat then center punched it and drilled the head off the shear bolt. once the key lock is off the bolts uncrew easy
