Matts Yokes 998cc Comfort Kit fitment

Colour the bar in with a permanent marker and fix the boxes at a high angle on the bar and screw them together , then rotate them to the right position very slowly ..... the nipples will cut a clear line through the permanent marker and the end point is where you spot drill your hole

Thanks! This looks like is going to take a lot more time than I anticipated )

Should take 2 hours tops mate , and that is with brews and admiring your own work , oh ..... and enjoy bleeding those brakes ....... Snigger .

If you add the extra trips at Screwfix for the security bits to undo those bolts, to HG for a replacement pair of heated grips (first ones were busted) it all adds up. But I very much enjoy it and with your guidance I should get there by the end of the day.lol

If you were nearer I would come and do it for you .

Faired vs Naked clutch cables

I used the old clip ons to measure the distance and then a blob of tippex on the nipple to get the orientation right.

I then punched the bar with a very sharp punch to stop the drill skidding. Then drilled 2 5mm holes. The bars are very hard, and my 12 volt dewalt cordless wasn't up to it. I switched to the 240V drill and it was a lot easier.

Swarf goes everywhere so use a cover.

Bleeding the breaks is a total basteward. It took me ages with a mityvac vaccum pump, but I eventually got them rock solid. I had air trapped in the master cylinder, that I removed by tapping it with a screw driver handle.

All my advice came from here, especially from Phil "SPECIALONE". The only thing I couldn't replicate was I had to remove the air box and he didn't.

Don't be tempted to use the OEM throttle cables, defo use the replacements. At full lock they are just too tight.

Any advice on adjusting / tensioning the throttle cable?

I didn't need to really. Just put the gap on the screw tensions as close to the ones coming off and stuck em on. Worked fine.
