As it says on the title. Long shot on here I know but will be doing a more active search elsewhere - just wondered if anyone had one laying around. Preferably straight, not like the one we took off the project bike :D

Sorry, 1995 RGV250 :oooops:

No luck so far. Been offered a new one for £450, nearly what we paid for the darn bike.
The yoke has obviously had a full on frontal, it's straight if you look straight on but from the side it's bent back, towards the bike.
Is it possible to straighten it?
Only ask because I saw the Lazzzydogs post here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7018&start=15
Tone might know and call me stupid for asking but he's down the garage tinkering and, well, you lot are here, with me, in the study :D

Lol, ta Adam. Would be a bit rude though.
"Hello, I've never spoken to you before but..."
I'd be too :oooops:

Told Tone that I'd asked about straightening it and he's worried about it's future stability if that's done :sad1:

I'm sure he wouldn't mind but there's loads of others out there too (although judging by the motor mount he makes for Tubers, his work is top quality 8-) ). With the correct measurments and a CNC mill, it's really straightforward. I've even knocked one out for my Enfield/JAP on the vertical mill on my Myford - but that does take a long time lOl

Cheers guys. Tone found a place locally that may be able to help him out with the yoke so he's going to run it over there in the next day or two, depending when he can nip out of the office. If no luck I may go for the brave move and PM Mr Spondon, though I noticed he's not psoted here for a while.
Tony is interested in your front end though Supreme ( :shock: ) and has asked me to ask if you've any pics and what kinda price are you looking for? It's a VJ22 he's got so we may be in business as long as yours are better than his ;)
