curvy yoke conversion help
Hi all,
I'm in the middle of converting an 02 curvy s to take a handlebar. I've had to give it to my garage to get a couple of bolts loose and do a couple of other bits. They've just called to let me know that the top yoke I have from a naked curvy is a different size to the top yoke from my s and won't fit. I didn't spot any mention of this when I looked into how to do the conversion and thought it would be a straight swap, take off the top yoke from my s and drop on a top yoke from a naked. Does anyone know about this and if there is a way to get around the problem? Would it need the lower yoke from a naked to work? |

Re: curvy yoke conversion help
the N and S lower yoke has a different part number for a reason (offset). most folk get the top N yoke to fit the S bottom by slightly forcing it on. no doubt someone will be along telling you different.

Re: curvy yoke conversion help
Thanks for the reply. Could forcing it cause any issues like the forks bending at the top? Would the bottom yoke and stem from a naked fit straight in and be a better solution? Sorry for all the questions, I just need to get the bike back together before monday

Re: curvy yoke conversion help
Hold up sorry, just re read yours and you said lower yoke, not top yoke.

My guess is, probably slightly bent forks or twisted bottom yoke. |

Re: curvy yoke conversion help
What does 'different size's actually mean?
It should indeed be a straight swap. |

Re: curvy yoke conversion help
i stand corrected
i would go with 21quest's reason then. if your needing the bike for monday then stick the S yoke back on. do you also have the longer clutch and throttle cables for the N conversion? |

Re: curvy yoke conversion help
21 quest think they said the forks in the top yoke sat wider than in the bottom by 12mm. I'll have a better look when I go and collect it (wheeling it home)
Bibio yes I have a clutch and throttle cable from an n, as well as new braided brake lines from hel. Old brakes are off at the moment so if I can get the new bar on before putting the new lines on that would be better. |

Re: curvy yoke conversion help
Hello, provided it's 12mm difference on both sides(left and right forks), I'd say you do not have the right N top yoke.
Any chance of some pictures? |
