Eventually my Xmas present is finally on Suzy. No YC didn't paint it matt black. The spacers were a lttle short for some reason, as the steering lock didn't work with them as was, so just a couple of washers were put in, as the yoke is slightly thicker round the lock than the original, and bish bash bosh ta-da!

I'm going to have to take my SV650 keyring off as it will scratch it, its a hefty lump to be battering it:( Don't worry it will be kept nice and shiny, in fact I've a feeling it will be better to clean than the original

They don't make them anymore, but its BKG. I should it be a rare find:smt050

Just curious. Is it a bit of bling or are there performance/cumfort/other gains from this???

Might be a n00b question. Please excuse me if so. :study:

Chris said it were ever so slightly heavier than the original:confused: but yes its a bit of bling.
I've spent a lot of money restoring my old burd, and Im Indoors bought this as a xmas present. At least i didn;t have to spend hours hurting my fingers polishing this one ;-)

Your bike must be slightly different to mine then DB.

The spacers put the ignition switch level with the top of the yoke and the steering lock worked perfectly. Tis nice to see being appreciated again.:D
