Yes that one on ebay is a faired OEM curvy yoke. Just everything on curvy is that little bit nicer you see.

just a question ..... do you need owt special in the way of torque bits for the ignition barrelto get your top yoke off...Im Indoors is putting the precious on Suzy today

A security torx bit to get the barrel off. Unless you flatten the shaft in there, then you could use an ordinary torx bit.

That dizzyblonde is not just a yoke its a work of ART. I was full of emotion when I saw that.

5mil (security torx) I think. You'll need a ratchet with the bits I would have thought - mine was seized in solid, bent an allan key style one.

I've just been trying to fight with mine tonight. Snapped first security torx bit trying to do it properly, then I got rid of the pins only to round the bolt off with a normal torx bit

Need to get it under the pillar drill to take out those bolts neatly....undone the top yoke clamp allen bolts, undone the clipons from the yoke, taken off big chome dome-top nut....stuck fast! What's the knack? The yoke won't come up.

Persuade it gently with a moderately sized hammer and a lump of wood.
