Comfort Handlebar Kit - Top Yokes

#1 Post by Falco9 » Wed Dec 22, 2010 2:27 pm

Just come off the phone with this company

http://www.topyokes.com/

and have now ordered a comfort kit + bars for the Falco

http://www.topyokes.com/comfort_kit_+_handlebars/46

The owner Matt, manufacturers his own top yokes & risers on an inhouse CNC machine and then adds (if required) Renthal bars, & HEL stainless hoses to make up either a full kit or just the top yoke.

After having a chat with him he has kindly agreed to offer a 15% discount to all Riders Site Forum Members.

You will need to ring Matt and let him know where you heard about him (mention the site) to get the discount. He's a really nice bloke and keen to support the forum

I'd looked at this site a while back Rich. I think I will try the "bars over the top yoke" arrangement first then make a decision. Let us have a look when the jobs done then a road test report please.

My helibars only just achieve full lock before touching the screen/fairing - these bars look much higher. Presumably you'd have to butcher the front end?

I've thought about making a top yoke for the Falco and sticking Renthals on.. Would cost me a fraction of the £270 to do, even if I was to bill myself..lol.. :smt003
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Though if anybody happens to be after a ready-cut top fairing and screen, just drop me a pm.

If you look at that picture, you'll see the screen and fairing have already been chopped. The bits of fairing from the mirror mounts towards the tank have gone, as have the sides of the screen.

Looks like a tidy job though.
