Custom Yokes?

#1 PostAuthor: coldsummer » Sat Oct 24, 2009 7:24 pm

Anybody recommend somewhere to get a set of yokes/stem made up?

I have a pair of ZX9R USD forks but no yokes, planning to fit them to the Z1a.

Thanks as always :)

Sorry Al, it's nowhere near original and far from complete so don't get too upset. :)

Izax made some yokes for me in the past very good quality.

I was looking at Robw's Lawson replica this morning and that has beautifullly made billet top and bottom yokes. These are some of the best I have seen.

I'm sure he would pass on the name of the company who made them.

Simon, I used this guy http://www.kmcustom.co.uk/
Things did drag out a little, but I would use him again. Fairly local to you in Gloucester, so you can go & talk things through, far better than trying to do it over the phone.
He also runs a modified Z1000 himself.

What model forks are they?

I may have some yokes.

My alchemist guru fabricator mate can fit a standard stem into them.

That's what we've done on mine

They are from an early B model, the ones with the USD forks, not sure which year. I don't have the original yoke but I guess I could find some on ebay?

According to Kawasaki.

B1-4 yokes are the same

B1-3 forks are the same but different to B4
