ABM Comfort Bar Kit

[xXBADGERXx]

I have secured the .org a nice little discount on the ABM Comfort Bar Kit . This kit includes a new top yoke machined from Aluminium Billet , Bars , 2 Stainless Steel Braided "Hel" Brake lines (covered with clear protective tube to prevent rubbing and have stainless Banjos - so no MOT failures) , Risers and extended Throttle cables as well , there is also a bracket for relocating the Master Cylinder for the front Brake . The kit can be seen here http://www.998cc.com/sv_650_s/123 . Matt has offered us a 15% percent discount using the code UKBAD and if anybody wants to order more than one kit you can give him a ring on 08707 521 916 (Outside UK: 0044 8707 521 916) and he will do a 20% reduction on sales of 2 kits and upwards . He is also taking delivery of a CNC machine in August and will be making custom parts for various bikes and has some very nice ideas in the pipeline .

This is a nice little deal and is a brilliant idea for those of us suffering from Wrist/Back pain with our beloved SV`s . I have ordered 2 kits (one for myself and one for a friend) and simply cannot wait to get this little lot installed :D

To cap it all the kits cost £302.70 inclusive of VAT and with the 15% reduction they can supply you them for £257.30 including VAT (all prices are in British pounds GBP)

[DoubleD]

hey thats not bad, I only managed to get a 10% discount for the .org

How did you get on?

[serow]

I've bitten off all my nails now.....

[Shellywoozle]

Come on is it worth me buying one, will my fitters need to learn German to fit them?

[Lozzo]

Shelly, I told you I'd fit it when you buy one, I can understand enough German to do the job, cos most of it is common sense anyway.

Yeah, it'll be a doddle.

[xXBADGERXx]

Right , the lowdown on this is that the Org now has a 20% discount on these ABM kits with 998cc.com . Matt has had quite a few orders from this thread and has been happy to reduce it again for us . The new discount code to use is : SVORG

He also has his CNC machine up and running and is open to making parts for us as well as making his own Yokes for most of the big names and their more popular bikes . If anybody has any requests for things making I can have a word with him and see what he is willing to do for you :) .

[maviczap]

I don't want to be cheeky, but i want to order just the billet yoke to go with my GSXR USD forks conversion for my SV.

So then I get the best of both worlds, better forks + comfort from using renthal handlebars instead of the GSXR clip ons.

Do you think Matt would do this?

Don't want to give the Org a bad name after your hard work.xXbadgerXx

[xXBADGERXx]

He will make you a Yoke yes , he has patterns there and can machine one up for you as just a Yoke with Risers on it if you so wish .

[Speedy Claire]

What price does that mean he`s doing the kits for Badger?

[Sean_C]

He will make you a Yoke yes , he has patterns there and can machine one up for you as just a Yoke with Risers on it if you so wish .

I'd be interested in this too.. for srad 750 forks. Can't afford the whole kit and kaboodle all in one go so would like to collect up the parts to do it.

[Matts-Yokes]

[Matts-Yokes]

Speedy Claire,

A full kit including vat and postage is £248, normally on the website it is £307.74. We currently have a JULY sale on for other customers but that is limited to JULY only and is also only 10%.

Your forums deal is 20% forever, unless we sell more then you get more.

Ta!
Matt

Matt,
I think that you stock a yoke for the 1991 GSXR USD fork & front end that I want, so thanks for the help. So I'll be placing an order very soon once I get paid hopefully.

It'll save me loads of trouble :thumleft:

[Matts-Yokes]

Mototech,

I can do you the "pointy" S yoke with risers for £115 inc vat - free postage. Just phone me on 07894 900 971 i can do them in black or silver or for an extra £10 red, blue, gold or KTM orange (i know KTM orange is an odd colour but looks awesome)

Hope this helps out
Matt

[Matts-Yokes]

Maviczap,

Send me your email address and i will send you a sample photo, they are much nicer than the german yokes and we can do them in black or silver for no extra charge or colours are £10. Just phone me on 07894 900 971 i will get on with it as soon as we get the order from you.

Ta! Matt

[Matts-Yokes]

Speedy Claire,

No probs, i will always do my best for you guys and gals. These kits really do make the bike feel better, with alot more confidence on slow speed work as well. Just phone me on my moby number (in above posts) and i will sort the kit out for you

Ta! Matt

[Matts-Yokes]

Just one more thing, our yokes are SFS yokes (made by me) not ABM - ours are Made in Great Britain as all our accessories are too!

Keep manufacturing British thats what i reckon!

I'd like one made for an srad 750, that sounds a very good price to me!
How come you don't have that option up on your site? I'll pm you my email so you can send me a photo too ;)

Sent you a PM. cheers

[xXBADGERXx]

He hasn`t got everything up on the site yet as a year ago he had only just got the CNC machine and was saying this stuff was on the way ....... I`m quite glad he has managed to pull it off and hope it takes off for you Matt :) I should imagine he will get it up on site eventually , poor guy is a very busy man ;)

[Matts-Yokes]

Hi Sean,

Is it a standard GSXR 750 SRAD yoke you need ? We can obviously alter programs to make one-off parts but the price is a little higher due to the extra work involved. If it is simply an SRAD yoke then £115 will cover it.

Our yokes are billet alloy aircraft spec 6082t6 grade, the reason we use this grade is because the strength is there and the 6082 takes anodising really well. Yokes made by other euro firms use lower grade of alloy normally and you can tell in the weight and finish of these parts.

We can also supply fatbar risers but these are proving tricky to get hold of currently and the price due to the weak pound to euro means we would have to add £45 to the price of one of our yoke plates with fatbar risers.

Ta!
Matt

[Matts-Yokes]

Ha ha, Your right Badger!

Its been a right ball ache getting this lot sorted and we are only just getting to the point where we can see beginning of the business.

In these tough times its making it really hard work just to make enough to still be here every week never mind a bit extra.

Your support is so much appreciated, if any of you are ever near Lancashire you should pop in (although the coffee is from a machine and pretty nasty)

Busy isnt the word for it at the moment. If you do pop up make sure you phone cos we are sometimes out at various suppliers etc.

Ta! Matt

[xXBADGERXx]

I tell ya what Matt , people often require spacers for GSXR front end conversions on here as well , will be a doddle to set up on a CNC lathe and knock them out as well . I`m pretty sure there are other things you can make as well for the mass market , but tiny steps first eh , don`t need to over reach just as you are setting up .

And yes , I will pop in for a visit one day , I`ll bring biscuits but your buying the Nasty Coffee .

Good idea, I had spacers and a spindle made up for my front end conversion.

i'll post some pics and maybe I can get some dimensions?

[Sean_C]

I thought I'd update this thread with pictures. I bought a top yoke off Matt and got round to fitting it earlier this week. The bars used are ultra low bars, which Matt informed me allow me to use existing throttle cables etc with a little re-routing. Everything works fine, I didn't even need to change my brake lines (braided lines which were longer than needed previously). Unfortunately I had to cut 25mm off each end of the bars, as the bike wouldn't fit round the side of the house :( :(

It makes a colossal difference to the bike and to my comfort. I haven't been for a long ride yet, but I was perfectly comfortable for the hour I went out last night, which was never the case for me with clip ons. It'll take a little bit of getting used to, I love how easily it tips into corners, I just need to get used to it so I'm putting the bike exactly where I want again.

All in all a well worthwhile purchase, I'm really pleased with how its gone. The only niggle was it looked like I wouldn't be able to raise the tank with the top yoke in place. After all, it's an srad 750 top yoke and not designed to work with an SV. Luckily, there's enough sideways movement in the tank that you can raise it by wiggling it a bit, and moving the bars. That was a huge relief, I really didn't fancy griding away any of my nice shiny yoke! Just waiting on bar ends now.

Nice lookin yoke Sean!

I've got the faired SV, so my problems are slightly different.

One question, what is the diameter of the top of the fork leg?

My GSXR forks are pre SRAD and are 50mm dia

[Sean_C]

Top of the fork leg is 50mm, so the same
as yours.

[Specialone]

I have had my conversion on my bike nearly a week now, its brilliant.
Cornering is better, especially at low speed.
Loads more comfortable, havent done any big miles but the 70 or so i have done have been brilliant.
Phil

[Matts-Yokes]

HI Sean,

The bikes looking good, i notice you have a set of SFS headlight brackets also, we will be doing billet versions soon to match the yokes.

All GSXR 750's and 1000's have 50mm forks from 1990-2009 (GSXR 1100 have 52mm from 1990>)

Have you tried it out yet for the new riding position ?

Glad you all like the yokes, im working as fast as i can here, another batch of SV650 yokes are coming back from the anodiser today - had a few delays recently out of our control but hopefully people will see its worth the wait when they see your bike.

Ta!
Matt
