Archived from groups: uk>rec>motorcycles (more info?)

hi all

i'm going to convert my gsx-r 600 k4 from clip-ons to a raise
Handlebar, i've been watching for some conversion kit's and they are
expensive, since i only need the top yoke.

two question's

Were can i buy a top yoke, ( lsl only sell the kit with all the stuff
needed ) ...

or since i have the possibility to make one top yoke, where can i find
the measures of the oem top yoke, CAD drawing or pdf file or other.

Thanks
Jaime

Don't bother with that, find out the width of the forks (I think
they're
50mm iirc) and then find something that has clip-ons with built in
risers
that are also the same size, eg Ducati SS are 50mm and look like this:

That's give you a nice easy and cheap way to raise the bars if that's
all you need to do.

ebay.

Go to your local Suzuki dealer with a tape measure and see if
a Bandit yoke will fit. Then change your pseudonym to Apehangerman.

Or a breaker. Must be loads of straight top yokes attached to bent
forks, hanging around.

Hog is your man for this - he put flat bars on his Gixxer Thou - in
fact, he puts raisers and flat bars on everything.

ABM conversion was what I used on a GSXR1000. Use a set of raask adjustable
jota bars.
