750 front

i seem to recall somebody on here saying to me a long time ago about how to get the steering lock working on my 2000 w reg curvy sv fully faired.

i have the full srad 750 front fitted.

i cant find the post or remember what was said to me.

i took the side panels off last night and found that on the bottom yoke there were two nobly stop bits whaich had screws in.

what are the purpose of having them screws in and are they needed?

i removed the screws from these bits and all i can say is flippin heck i can turn my handle bars.

i need to get my steering lock working but dont know what i have to do, is it just a case of filling the nobbly bits down to increase the turn or am i wrong?

any help much appreciated

Northwind should be along to e-lighten you to all the information you need, though I remember depending on the yokes you have it will depend on whether you can get this working. So it might help if you put the details of the bike the yokes came off.

i have no ideas what bike it came off as i bought the bike with the front fitted. i actually have no clue all i know is that the front is off the gsxr 750 however i think there is a possibility that the top yoke is standard however i am not entirly sure

Pictures may be the way forwards here then. The USD GSXR 750 forks are significantly wider where the yokes clamp onto them than normal SV forks. There are a few yokes you can use to fit and it depends on the year of the forks. A few people on here are pretty well clued up on the years though so some pictures of the yokes, forks, and brakes will tell people what you have.

Hmm, sounds like those screws might have been fitted to the lock stops by the previous owner to restrict the steering lock? Maybe the last owner was worried about the bars hitting the tank or fairing. SRAD stops are solid, normally. If you've got a picture of what's going on in there that'd be handy...

It should be dead simple. SRAD yokes are very similir to SV ones, so the lock stops work perfectly and the ignition very nearly does. There's 2 ways to make the ignition work, either machine out the "bolt hole" in the frame slightly (I used a dremel, and we're talking about 2mm of material at most) or alternatively grind down the "bolt" of the lock a bit, to get the same effect. I reckon you could also oval the bolt holes and rotate the lock mechanism slightly but I've never actually seen it done.

heres some more

im sorry if the pictures aren't very good.

You shouldn't have a problem with SRAD yokes and the steering lock, it all alligns up perfectly. You either have non-SRAD yokes or by the sounds of it you have modified yokes, have you got a picture of these screws you are on about?

Should look like this standard...
