Default Handlebar conversion

Hi, looking at converting my curvy S to naked handlebars, retaining the fairing.
If I use a genuine top yoke, have I read correctly that I need a a spacer on the stem and that the steering lock doesnt line up correctly?

Thanks In advance

I've done the search and found one comment about spacer and steering lock alignment.
Anyone had these problems?

p.s. before you ask its a 650

I have done something similar with my Pointy, but do not know enough about the curvy bits to offer any real advice. What I can tell you is that I used a big set of risers, motocross bars and the N model pointy top yoke and it went together perfectly.

If you cannot find any information, have you considered talking to your local engineering shop about having your S yoke adapted? With my fork swap I am using a set if Gixer yokes and have had some plates machined that go into the bottom of the top yoke to add strength and allow the fitting of a set of risers.

Good luck and I hope that you can find some answers.
