No clever work here S_H. I just wanted to retain one mount each at the top and bottom. Marked with felt pen as close to mounting lugs and went to work with a Hack Saw...not even a fancy dremel here

Panels were slightly damaged blue but that wasn't the reason why as said earlie. I was waiting for some bits to hopefully turn up but one weekend, I just felt the urge to do some work on the bike. The rest as they say is history


Lissa, I just close my eyes and imargin it's all blue. Means I can have a different colour for eash day of the week....not that I'd want any colour other than blue


Billy, shock will, very possibly or perhaps on other bike . As for painting it black, it's a tool and not some blinged up wotsit.......it's built to be ridden properly


ianofbhills, it's a bespoke yoke from tesperformance.co.uk. For a three bolt drop down/stepped yoke(50mm height at fork hole) like the one in the pic, price starts from around £240. Originally I had a five bolt/75mm one

Reason for me is I'm one of those unique haha folks that like a relatively lazy geometry on their bikes and so prefer to be able to retain the SV front ride height as a starting point.
This of course means if using regular clipons, you'll actually lose some bar height. Sorted with use of a Ducati 750SS or 900SS(think it's the 900SS) clip ons.

I could gain a bit more bar height by have the top yoke slight modified but could be ar_sed as it was already anodised etc.


Simon, definitely getting rid of lots



Ben

Quality costs mate.....
And that is at the affordable end of the market for bespoke parts like this.
