| Sprintek billet "streetfighter"
yokes Steve Rigby of Sprintek offered to do some yokes for the Katana. Actually these are GSX-R750L/M yokes but as we all know by now a GSX-R front-end is a straight swap with the air-cooled GSX frame. The main reason I went with these being I didn't want to be a nuisance to Steve and he was doing these yokes for somebody else anyway and it takes considerably less time to do two at a time than a single set. |
|
| Allmost to beautiful to bolt onto the bike. I like the straightforward design which makes them light, strong and easy to clean/polish. |
|
| Engraved kuckle-duster on the hollow bottom yoke, which uses four stainless M6 pinch bolts with tapered heads to get clamp the fork legs in style. |  |
| The top yoke with backswept risers. |  |
| Also properly lightened. |  |
| I like the way you can still see how the CNC machine has eaten away the aluminum, so I won't polish the marks away. |  |
| Some more detail shots. Enjoy... |  |

Ofcourse the yokes are threated with a new set of
bearings. |
 |
| The GSX-R750 USD fork legs are 54mm at the bottom yoke and 50mm at the top yoke but as I wanted to fit my "oldskool" 37mm GS500 forks and have the option of USD forks at a later time Tinie from BikePenR made some adapter bushings. |  |
Here they are fitted on the bike at Street or Track 2004 (yes the forks 'll need "just a tad" more preload) |

Lovely 'innit? Sacrilege! ;-) |
