    Hi all,
    I have and 84 Xj600 pre diversion that is now looking more like a Triumph Thruxton! Trouble is my handle bar controls now hit the tank before the fork is supposed to stop as the top of my new Thruxton tank sits higher than the stock tank. I want to put on a new top yolk that will take any handle bar, my bars are fixed in one position only. I heard that an old 84-87 FZ600 would fit, does anyone know if this is correct or can suggest other options? I don't really want to go the clip on way as I think these will be too low for a comfortable ride.

    Not sure about the yoke (yolk is the yellow part of the egg ;) ), but I can tell you that there are riser clipons , which may be ab option.

    Ha ha, spelling was never my strong point! Riser clip ons, that's interesting, I hadn't thought of that... thanks

    Thanks for the link... nice clip ons, bit rich for me!
    I've since found out that the YX600 Radian is very similar to my bike and shares a lot of the same parts, I've ordered a yoke from ebay from US. Should fit fingers crossed. Thanx all :D
