Matts Yokes 998cc Comfort Kit fitment

I`m sure the advantages of the comfort kit are more than going to compensate for any inconvenience you`ve had fitting it. You`re going to love it

Yes i can't wait to try it out. It feels pretty good just sitting on the bike in the garage. Hopefully it will be a similar riding position to the Gladius i was lent when mine had a service. I didn't like the lack of a fairing on the Gladius though, reminded me of my Bandit days head bobbing about everywhere!

If you are really worried about your clutch cable, do what I did and fit a cable for a V-Strom 650. I got mine from Wemoto for about £10 and it fits great, although I have higher risers on my bar conversion.

You may notice the extra wind pressure on your chest and helmet as a result of the new position. I sorted it with a new MRA vario screen which makes riding on motorways boring again.





Some mirror extenders might come in handy since the new handlebars are wider.

Are the standard throttle cables or the ones that came with the kit?

The ones in the kit.

I managed to feed them underneath the steering lock. They feel very relaxed with no tension and my speedo is clear

Sure no problem. Guidelines are really important to be honest. If you business picks up, you'll make a lot of customers very happy if you provide them with some instructions or maybe pictures for routing the cables.

Routing the throttle cables was the worst part since I had to remove the air box (a bit of a pain to put back on) several times over the week to try different routes.

Overall I am well impressed with the build quality and the new riding comfort.

Looks good, I noticed you clutch cable is routed different to mine. It was just too tight when I tried it that way.

Yes i may go for a new clutch cable once i've tried it. I'm going to give the double bubble screen i've got fitted a go first and i'm hopeing the mirrors are going to be ok too. I'm not that tall so fingers crossed. I got the brake hoses back today so will hopefully get my first ride at the weekend.

I have a Puig double bubble and it is perfect for me. I am 5ft 11"
