Good quality yokes and a good price too. I have similar on my Bandit.
He states "Any USD legs" Not quite true as they can be different diameters. He'll obviously make them correct size to order I guess.
Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups!

2 kinds pre k5 and k5 on as needs to mount the ariel for ignition immobiliser on later models .

They're for Upside Down forks Notty, they won't fit on the std ones.

Well, they do come as standard fitting in the southern hemisphere, as ours are always upside down compared to you blokes.

Hi Col..
I am still sooo jealous of the superb roads and scenery you have in NZ
You are a lucky chap !

KiwiCol

The bloody roads aren't that good Speedy, fecken shingle n crap has done me bike in. But with Notty's trainers fitted, I should be able to stay upright on the next one.

they can make them to fit any forks std way ip or upside down from any doner bike but one thing to remember is most upside down forks are to short so also need the forks extending too and youll need to work out wherl brakes and discs.
i will be using bking upside down forks extended by 75mm .bking radial calipers and mudguard with std gsx1400 wheel and discs.

That's a long extension Seth?  You making a chopper?  3/4 of a metre longer will be interesting.   :stir:

That's not correct KiwiCol. For standard forks the yokes are not as chunky as the USD yokes. 
I preferred the chunky USD ones and he drilled them to fit standard.

Given there is some interesting and useful info here, I have slightly amended the title and stickied it so others may find it easier in the future.
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:
