N -> S with other front-end

My first thoughts,

Drilling the Top yoke might be easier!!



'X' marks the spot for drilling a hol, typically where I would mounts would be.

The two in the middle could probably be done away with by welding, not sure what equipment you've got to hand.

The holes at the top would correspond to the mounting hole within the actual standard clocks. I've opened them before but have forgotten what they look mount like. Again - if you didn't want to do this you could just weld the orginal clock bracket to the 'brace' I've draw that goes behindthe main headlight.


To be honest I'm not sure if its worth the hassle of having clocks!! You could get a modified bicycle computer until you decide on something more permanent. I rode my bike with no dials for a while, I knew the bike was running well so I didn't expect any warnings...

Cheers mate! Looks a good solution.
But, this afternoon I found some time to take the clocks and light off and I think there is a pretty easy solution to my problem. The light will be mounted with the brackets, no problem and I can fix the clocks to my top yoke with just 2 small plates. As I have the SRAD-yokes there are 2 mounting screws for the clipons in it. If I lower the clipons a bit that there is enough space to mount a small plate in between, I can fix the clocks to those plates with the standard mounting-bracket of the clocks. It just fits realy tight but it should work! The only "down" part is that my clipons (they come from a TL) and the clocks will be a few mm down. The small screws (i think it are M4) will handle it because the clipons are also attached to the forks and will also take a part of the reactionforces that are cause by the clocks.

(I hope you understand the biggest part, because my English isn't verry good as you can see )

I drilled some holes in my top yoke (although it's a standard curvey "S" yoke) to mount standard "N" clocks. I can get you a couple of pics if you like?

I have one of the top yoke where you can see the bolts, they're polished stainless hex heads for now, intend to get some allen heads in due course as I reckon they'll look better.

Underneath I used a pair of steel tubes as spacers as the S yoke is hollow underneath, and that worked well. Don't know what the yoke you're using is like though?

Managed to find the picture of top yoke from the top, I don't think it looks that bad, will look better with allen head bolts anyway.

This is what I finaly did:

Made 2 small plates to fix the clocks one. The other end I've mounted in between the clipon and the top yoke. It all just fits realy thight, but it works! Clocks are very stable. I just need to paint the in some coulor so they will not rust.
