Bandit yoke fit naked curvy?

[Alexander94]

Hi guys,

I was involved in a collision the other night that ruined the swing arm, Forks, top yoke, clocks, headlight and a few other minor bits on my naked curvy and I was just wondering if the top yoke from a K5-K6 will fit it? I've found one off an almost new bike for £25 and if it'll fit then I won't hesitate to get that one!

K5-K6 bandit 650 top yoke, sorry! That's kind of a major detail!

There's also one for a 2000-2004 bandit 600 for £20 but the newer one looks a lot nicer ^^

It may look the same, but I doubt one from another model is going to fit.

Sadly, even one off a Pointy isn't going to fit I think. Naked top yokes are sought after & curvy ones even more so.

But if you're quick, there's this one from a 1998 curvy which will

Thanks for your reply.

I was really hoping that a bandit yoke would fit...

So I've really messed up by breaking a naked curvy yoke... Oops

[maviczap]

Yes, but you're lucky there's that one on Ebay.

[Alexander94]

Yeah, quite good timing!

I've done the "buy it now" on that one that you added the link to just to be safe. So now I just need to wait for that to turn up and source a load more parts to get my bike back on the road...

What's wrong with the swing arm, if that got damaged, then I'd be concerned about the whole of the bike, especially as your top yoke also got trashed.

Is it just cosmetic damage or bent and severely damaged.

post some pictures up, as if your bikes badly damaged you might want someone to check it out so its safe to ride after its been fixed, or to save you lots of money, and dont waste your time fixing it because it will be dangerous even if you repace the broken parts.

agreed. you might not see any hairline fractures in the frame and if there is it could result in the frame parting company with the headstock and this is something you dont want to happen. is it really worth the risk. if it were me i would cut my losses and get another bike and use the crashed one for spares or break it and sell the bits off.

That's the swing arm. It hit the curb on the left hand side.
I really hope the damade doesn't go any further cos I really can't afford another bike...

[Alexander94]

What happened was that the front wheel slid on some ice just before a left hand corner, the bike fell to the left, slid down the road and hit the curb on the other side. I was doing about 30mph

Here are some other pictures. Overall it doesn't seem too bad, I think some of it could be that parts got hit in the wrong place
