Curvy Lower Yokes Differences? - SV650.org

Is there any difference between the naked and faired yokes?

Also when swapping a set of yokes, whats also worth doing when that far in?

Thanks
Andy

I'll probably get shot here, but bugger all apart from the risers to fit the bars and the clock mounting point on the naked top yoke?

The faired yoke will have the threaded point for security bolts for the clip ons and no mounting point for the clocks.

I can't think of OWT else?

If you've got that far, grease the top and bottom bearings and do the fork oil

Its only a bottom yoke Mavi so the top staying put. Thought it was the same on the curvy.

Can't think why the bottom would be any different between the two models

All Curvy lower yokes are the same.

andrewsmith · 26-12-12, 09:28 PM

was thinking along the lines of the pointy which are different offsets

Merci Sid

Another quick question, what the best thing to paint the lower one up with?

As far as I know the lower yokes have different length stems. They have different part numbers and my unfaired top yoke doesn't fit my faired bottom yoke without a spacer.

I think you might run into problems with the length of your stem old chap... Old age perhaps?

Cheers Trudd/ Chris
Don't think there is much chance of ending up with a naked yoke.

Trudd did that lift the bars up?
