Hi all, I am starting a new Thread after a saga where the moto-cnc top yoke conversion I purchased does not fit my bike. I later found out from them that, despite the website saying it was suitable for a 1998 Daytona, it is for 43mm forks and not 45mm. Back to the drawing board and I am now waiting for CNC Top Yokes to deliver this and I will update you with my progress all being well! Let the transformation begin!
Are you going full naked with it or just lifting the bars? I just made my daytona naked before it went pop and found it much more enjoyable, not that it was boring before but just more of a riot now
I feel your pain, I'm 29 and my rice paper wrists couldn't handle them They are way more comfy than the clip ons
I was starting to get worried because CNC Top Yokes happily took my money and automatically confirmed the online order but then it went quiet. After 2 emails and a text message spanning nearly 3 weeks I heard back from them yesterday and I should get the parts next week. I can’t wait to get her back on the road after 22 years of ownership, 5 years off the road and with a more comfortable riding position.
At long last, I have now received my CNC Top Yokes kit exactly 1 month after my order was confirmed and paid for! Communication was pretty bad with them at first but they did keep me informed for the last week, only after lots of chasing. Anyhoo, here it is and I will post an update once fitted.
Wow, that took about an hour to fit and will now take several hours to re-route cables, fit new brake lines and mount the reservoir. The only unexpected snag so far is that the wiring for the left hand switch gear is about 4” short and their is no flexibility to extend. Is this a cut and graft job or is there another version for say a Street Triple that fits and is longer? I would appreciate any guidance you have.
I overcame most of the obstacles today and am pretty pleased with the results of my new CNC Top Yoke conversion. For anyone doing the same job and looking for tips, here are some of the idiosyncrasies I found with fitting a new top yoke for a higher handlebar position. It may seem obvious to some but don’t forget to protect your tank, clocks and fairing before starting (I use old towels). Removing the old T595 top yoke is straight forward but removing the 2 headless bolts for the ignition is tricky. I used a small drill and was then able to undo the bolts with some needle nose pliers. Keep the 2 offset washers for reassembly. Extended front brake lines are needed The Clutch and Throttle cables should reach with a bit of re-routing There is 2-3 inches more length available on each of the left and right switch gear harness. You just need to cut the small cable ties under the fairing behind the headlights (very fiddly!) I used Renthal 758 22mm bars and they just slightly nudge the fairing in left and right hand lock positions (this is a UK MOT failure by the way) The left and right switch gear will need the small lugs cut or filed smooth if you are using generic bars (such as Renthal) and not standard Triumph bars I made a small aluminium L shaped bracket for the brake reservoir because the old one no longer fits Thanks for looking.
By way of an update. I have since fitted Renthal 754 Road Low bars that sweep back a bit more and miss the fairing, so no more steering lock limitations or MOT failure.
Hi Geoff, Im glad you got the kit fitted in the end, we have lots of work that comes in from ex (no names) customers due to the parts (especially triumphs) not fitting. I did tell you at the start of your order to buy renthal 754-01 bars as they would clear the fairing, we only use 758's on SV's If you were advised by another company (no names) to use 758's then thats becuase they don't know which bars are right as they only machine parts they dont fit them or have any experience on them, also they reason you got the wrong yoke. But they draw people in with fake 50% discount offers and unfortunately people fall for it. Anyway your kit looks awesome fitted. If you need anything just email me, we also cerakote parts now so not only do all our kits fit how they should, but they have the best quality material, the best design and also now the highest premium grade finish. Anodised top yokes from other companies suffer from UV fading, salt corrosion, claening agents fading and mottled uneven surface finish.
