gsxr front and flat bars

Curvy. At the minute they're TL clip ons with bar end mirrors, which make the bike too wide to get into the back garden!
I'll take a picture when I get home

Why not buy a second yoke to drill for risers if you're concerned about making an ar$e of yours?

For safety I would go for either the ABM or LSL kit, I have seen one cracked top yoke in person and I know of others who have seen more.

I can't dispute what you have seen but I've used drilled Top yokes myself with no problems at all.

Also have been friends for years, with folks who used to build bikes and have seen more drilled and /or welded(risers weldin to yokes) yokes that I could shake a stick out ... and also without one single failure.

I can understand folks being wary but like everything if folks go drilling like monkeys wihout giving much thought into webbing, position and load spread then it's more human error. The aftermarket yokes definitely do look nicer....I have a custom made top yoke one myself

Sean, that bike looks so right with the clip ons. What difference will the other bars make, you still have to have mirrors that are wider than your body so will be wider than the access thoroughfare maybe. My bar end mirror folded in, or what about using naked lever mounts that have mirror holes in them, or I've seen some bar end mirrors that hang under the bars similar to how a Pan Euro's mirrors work.

Indeedy Pete.

Sean , if you are happy with clipon set you have then keep them....saves you fraffing around unnecessarily too, with cables etc

Infact here's an offer for you. Got a kawasaki ER5 clutch perch/lever, mirro boss for brake side which I bought for one project and a set of mirrors which are not as wide as regular naked mirrors.

You could just use the Kwak clutch perch/lever as stop gap(threaded hole for mirror is slightly offset compared to SV ones and I found it a bit off putting lol) till you can find on off a Naked SV. SV ones don't seem that plentiful.

I'd let you have the lot above....

I'm not sure which year either but I have the Ducati clipons on my bike and they're great.

It was a TLS top yoke.
