He hasn`t got everything up on the site yet as a year ago he had only just got the CNC machine and was saying this stuff was on the way ....... I`m quite glad he has managed to pull it off and hope it takes off for you Matt

Hi Sean,
Is it a standard GSXR 750 SRAD yoke you need ? We can obviously alter programs to make one-off parts but the price is a little higher due to the extra work involved. If it is simply an SRAD yoke then £115 will cover it. Our yokes are billet alloy aircraft spec 6082t6 grade, the reason we use this grade is because the strength is there and the 6082 takes anodising really well. Yokes made by other euro firms use lower grade of alloy normally and you can tell in the weight and finish of these parts. We can also supply fatbar risers but these are proving tricky to get hold of currently and the price due to the weak pound to euro means we would have to add £45 to the price of one of our yoke plates with fatbar risers. Ta! Matt |

Ha ha, Your right Badger!
Its been a right ball ache getting this lot sorted and we are only just getting to the point where we can see beginning of the business. In these tough times its making it really hard work just to make enough to still be here every week never mind a bit extra. Your support is so much appreciated, if any of you are ever near Lancashire you should pop in (although the coffee is from a machine and pretty nasty) Busy isnt the word for it at the moment. If you do pop up make sure you phone cos we are sometimes out at various suppliers etc. Ta! Matt |

I tell ya what Matt , people often require spacers for GSXR front end conversions on here as well , will be a doddle to set up on a CNC lathe and knock them out as well . I`m pretty sure there are other things you can make as well for the mass market , but tiny steps first eh , don`t need to over reach just as you are setting up .
And yes , I will pop in for a visit one day , I`ll bring biscuits but your buying the Nasty Coffee . |

I thought I'd update this thread with pictures. I bought a top yoke off Matt and got round to fitting it earlier this week. The bars used are ultra low bars, which Matt informed me allow me to use existing throttle cables etc with a little re-routing. Everything works fine, I didn't even need to change my brake lines (braided lines which were longer than needed previously). Unfortunately I had to cut 25mm off each end of the bars, as the bike wouldn't fit round the side of the house
![]() ![]() It makes a colossal difference to the bike and to my comfort. I haven't been for a long ride yet, but I was perfectly comfortable for the hour I went out last night, which was never the case for me with clip ons. It'll take a little bit of getting used to, I love how easily it tips into corners, I just need to get used to it so I'm putting the bike exactly where I want again. All in all a well worthwhile purchase, I'm really pleased with how its gone. The only niggle was it looked like I wouldn't be able to raise the tank with the top yoke in place. After all, it's an srad 750 top yoke and not designed to work with an SV. Luckily, there's enough sideways movement in the tank that you can raise it by wiggling it a bit, and moving the bars. That was a huge relief, I really didn't fancy griding away any of my nice shiny yoke! Just waiting on bar ends now. Some pics: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Nice lookin yoke Sean!
I've got the faired SV, so my problems are slightly different. One question, what is the diameter of the top of the fork leg? My GSXR forks are pre SRAD and are 50mm dia

I have had my conversion on my bike nearly a week now, its brilliant.
Cornering is better, especially at low speed. Loads more comfortable, havent done any big miles but the 70 or so i have done have been brilliant. Phil |

HI Sean,
The bikes looking good, i notice you have a set of SFS headlight brackets also, we will be doing billet versions soon to match the yokes. All GSXR 750's and 1000's have 50mm forks from 1990-2009 (GSXR 1100 have 52mm from 1990>) Have you tried it out yet for the new riding position ? Glad you all like the yokes, im working as fast as i can here, another batch of SV650 yokes are coming back from the anodiser today - had a few delays recently out of our control but hopefully people will see its worth the wait when they see your bike. Ta! Matt |
