bits needed

[thegubner]

I dont know if this is right place to post this but here goes, I want to fit a set of renthals on my gpz 500 1989, I need a top yoke that will take renthals and fit straight on my bike, any one have one for sale?. and I was wondering if i take the front fairing off including front indicators, will the rear ones still work?...... any help would be appreciated,
cheers

andy

[hmmmnz]

you can get clip on things to mount other bars, or buy risers off the net and bolt them to your top yoke (thats what i did on my zxr)
if you remove the front indicators, your rear ones will flash really fast, but will still work

nice on cheers for that , any idea where
to get the clip on bits, and how to stop the indicators flashing fast

[hmmmnz]

lol, to stop the indicators flasing fast, put on indicators on the front
or buy a relay that is meant for led indicators easily available on ebay.

thats for the bolt on risers, just drill 4 holes in your top yoke

nice one cheers mate, proper helpful

No drilling required. You get clamps that fit round the top of the fork legs.

If you remove the fairing you will need to find some way of covering up or moving the electrics, especially the ignition coils.

The flasher unit won't work unless it has 2x21w bulbs to power.

If you fit renthals, you will need to move the ignition switch because you can't get the key in, the bars are in the way.

nice one cheers stink, do you know anywhere I can get hold of the clip on mounts?

cheers again


edit..... by the way seen the other pics, keep the scruffiness alive....yeah baby yeah

[stinkwheel]

I got mine from busters accessories. You need to measure the diameter of the forks.

They look a bit precarious when on but you only need something like 24mm of exposed fork leg to fit them. Happily the amount sticking up under the standard bars is slightly over this so no need to drop the forks through the yokes any.

Scruffy yes, but it'll be sold in about 15 minutes from now.

nice one, thank you yet again , seen a few of your posts on here and you are proper helpful, top ratings from me

[stinkwheel]

One thing I'd have done differently with mine is to have fitted some big rubber caps in the top of the stanchions. They are a water trap. Keep your eye out for something suitable.

[thegubner]

are the stanchions the top of the fork legs? if so I noticed that today, buster accessories was a great find, cant wait to get bits and make her look as good as she feels now lol



how much did the bike go for by the way?

[stinkwheel]

Aye the stanchions are the chromed part of the forks. If yuo fit those clamps, you are left with a recess at the topmost part of the fork which accumulates water and rust. I filled mine with wax to stop the circlip corroding but a rubber bung would be better.

£320. Which is more than I was expecting.

320 quid? ? ? for the bungs or forks?

They are sticking out through me clip os as it is, so if its that much for bloody bungs, I think I will follow you mate and use wax........me missus is always burning candles so that'll be cheap

[stinkwheel]

No. £320 is what I sold the GPZ for.

I was meaning chain wax, not candle wax.

LMAO forgot I asked about the price

candle wax should be ok though, as a cheap alternative?

well embarrassed now lol

cheers again

[stinkwheel]

I wouldn't use candle wax, it'll set and you wont be able to get the circlip out if you want to service the forks.

Chain wax is just 'claggy' but stays liquid, you can rinse it off again with solvent.
