Default New top yoke, GSXR front end.

I needed a top yoke for the 750 forks,
So this morning I went to work, found some aluminium and set to work...







It's not quite finished but the trial fitting looks good.
I just need to machine the clamps and get it finished in some way.

Next onto the speedo fix.

Or do the clip-ons clamp to the legs then the clip-ons bolt to the yoke ?

I'm going to split the inside of the fork collar and drill & tap from the front.

Split it on the inside and then drill and tap through , maybe mill out a larger diameter so you can hide a cap head in there . I would also Mill it out from the ignition side to keep it tidy looking
