Everything I did made the bike better. The best thing I did to the bike was the kedo inserts for the handlebars mind. The GPR can sounded nice and weighed a whole load less

Re: Signing off
were the bushes easy to fit and did they make much difference to the vibration and twisting

Re: Signing off
The top yoke can be taken off in 10 mins...... once you have the tank off, and plastics and engine bars 
, undo bars and strap forward out of way, undo 4 12mm bolts gripping fork tube, undo 27mm top nut. I had the old bush pressed out by a bike shop.
After fitting no extra vibe and no twist ....great mod

Re: Signing off
It is possible to take the top yoke off without removing the body work, a bit fiddly to get to the stauntion clamps but quicker than removing the fairingphil w wrote:The top yoke can be taken off in 10 mins...... once you have the tank off, and plastics and engine bars

Re: Signing off
Good point Phil, I didn't have to totally remove the yoke, just get to the bearings underneath.phil w wrote:But I couldnt get the ignition unplugged without tank off and that meant fairings off on mine as I didnt seem to able able to get the tank off leaving the fairings in place
