An interesting mod (Thug Yokes)

[taximan]

i think it looks awesome mate. wish i had some spare bucks. another note on my very long, i want list. i get there eventually.

Thank you. I wanted the chunky look to suit the bike. I got the billet top and bottom for same price Suzuki wanted just for one.

I'm pretty certain that I owe my life to the thug yoke set up on my Bandit. If it had standard yokes and forks I'm fairly sure that they would have snapped and I'd have gone splat. As it was they took the impact very well and bounced back off the car that "U" turned in front of me. The frame bent, but the forks although slightly bent held up.
In the photo's you can see how the steering stem bent though

They are very very strong yokes.

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

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.
 

Thanks for that taximan, they look fantastic on std forks. Well done.  All the pic's I'd seen of these yolks said they were for USD forks, didn't realise they'd do the same style & drill them to fit std.    Solid as a rock!

Well Notty, there ya go, another thing to add to your list, as well as Grog.

There is a technical term for the fork stem, starts with Fu and ends in ed

and has Calvin Klein in the middle

Tell me about it being Fu-Calvin-Kleined...
I had a hell of a job to get it out as it was so badly bent

[KiwiCol]

A sabre saw would of dealt to it in quick time Froudy - just sayin like.

Think I used slitting disc in grinder, then Dremel and junior hacksaw. Being very careful not to damage the yokes as I was reusing them

Bought a gsx1400 from my mate this week and he had already done this conversion, i think it looks awesome and finishes the front off nicely

[gsxbarmy]

Nice bike but missing the chain Guard?

[grog]

my exact thoughts Barmy.

[Mick_J]

Never liked the white wheels but with the white frame they look briliant.

[seth]

I'm sure I've seen this bike before at the Scottish get together a couple of years ago .
very nice example indeed
i have a couple of spare chain guards if your looking give me a shout as I'm in Glasgow alot to visit family in partic .
