Hi,

I've removed my top yoke in order to find a replacement that will
allow me to fit renthals to my GSX750F. Not having much luck tho,
does nayone have any suggestions? Does it matter if the rubber damper
pieces on top of the triple clamp line up with the new yoke etc etc or
could I modify and sandwich a leaf of rubber sheet in between instead?

Someone mentioned that I don't need the yoke, and can just use a set
of adaptors and risers once the yoke is removed, like these:

Are they talking nonsense -- seems feasible? However £100 seems steep
for these little things?!

Thanks,
Bp

Cant you just drill 2 holes in the top yoke , bolt these

into said holes and then attach bars of your choice?

Good idea - take the original yoke to a dealer and compare?
Those ebay risers are an option - does the bottom stem incorporate a
female thread so they can be bolted on? Because other than the clamps
for holding the bars, I can't see how else they can be bolted on?

Yeah - they are threaded so that you bolt them up underneath the yoke.
