Wanted - Top Yoke

#1 Post by Falcorob » Mon Oct 10, 2011 8:49 pm

OK. My search for a used top yoke to go on the Falco has drawn a blank.

I'm trying to make it more comfortable, and therefore more enjoyable, so have decided to go the Fuono route.

I did toy with the clip ons above the yoke route as suggested by another esteemed member but have decided that it's just not for me. I want a more sit up and beg stance but want to keep the Falco.

So.

Anyone know of a decent secondhand yoke? Tuono, LSL, ABM, CNC, or whatever?

I really can't afford new at the mo so that's not an option although I may have to save up and go the CNC route if all else fails.

Cheers, Rob.

Rob - while you wait for the right bits, pop the bars over....

Oh - also consider the foot rests & controls.... Adjust them for a better position

Finally - chat with kiwi oh as I think he may what you want coming up for sale soon....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

I have a complete Falco / Fuono conversion now sat in the garage you might be interested in.
There is a CMC alloy top yoke conversion, the correct length HEL Brake & Clutch hoses with stainless fittings, A pair of bar end mirrors and a pair of Futura throttle cables, Gold Renthal bars and a modified (cut down) top fairing (in Bronze colour scheme) and the modified fairing mount, You only need to fit your own headlight unit and the clocks cover and voila.....a complete conversion. It took me about 2 hrs to convert from this to back to standard at the weekend.

Looks like this when fitted
