I think I can just go and see my local Dealer and get it certified. How easy is it to fit, just plug and Play?

Thank you for the reminder about the restriction kit, I had no plans to go to my local dealer, who quoted me £350 for a restriction kit consisting of some washers and a stop fitted to my throttle. I was of the opinion that at that price, I may as well just redo my DAS test again! I recently popped in and asked about buying a 250cc bike because I was worried about getting on the unrestricted SV straight away after passing my test. They told me that what I really needed was a 600cc Yamaha XJ! Errr right...

A small shop called Black Cats in Weston Super Mare have said that they would be happy to confirm my fitting of a kit, for a small fee, if I needed it for my insurance. They are a good shop and one I would happily recommend to Weston based bikers.

I will keep you updated with my streetfighter project progress and hopefully once I am better in 2010 I will be back on my bikes. Top tip, don't get hurt just before you plan to take your test...

They are a separate part that bolt through the top yoke. Judging from the pic in the ebay ad, this didn't include these.

Yeah, no risers attached. But this is not a bad thing, gives us a bit more scope to get it set up as we want.

Hopefully it will be up and running in the summer with it's new set up and me on the front seat.

unfortunately not cheap though. I'd be looking for alternatives.

^ yep but not that easy to find ones that fit corectly

Top Yoke has arrived and it is in very good order, with a few dirty marks.

It is in need of a polish to give it that mirror finish as popularised by by Liam Simpson! Hmm, I can feel a week of sore hands coming on, along with broken finger nails and lots of very rude swearing!

First job, get rid of casting marks and rough edges.
