Pointy steering lock and GSXR top yoke? - SV650.org

mikerj · 13-02-11, 10:31 AM

I've hunted through what seems like hundreds of threads, but I can't find out if there is a combination of standard GSXR parts that will allow you to retain the steering lock on a pointy. Ideally to suit the GSXR600 K1-K3 RWU forks, but could go USD if needed.

Funny you mention it but if you use the GSXR K1-K3 the steering lock and lockstops work fine. You can use 600 750 or thou, I've fitted all 3 with no problems.

Thanks Chris, that is great news as I have a set of K2 yokes. I had doubts it would work due to the offset position of the ignition switch/lock.

Stock is offset too?

Yep, I meant offset from the standard location. I rested the top yoke over the standard one on my bike just to eyeball it and it looked as though the ignition switch cutout in GSXR yoke was not fully aligned with the SV. Looks like my eyeballs need recalibrating

They might not be the same, I think GSXR might have a bit less turning range so they'd need to be different... anyway I never measured anything, just bolt them up
