Hi All,

I've picked up a set of early 916 Showa forks with 40mm mounts so I can keep my stripped and rebuilt early Brembo calipers.

I know that I need to bore my stock top yoke, and space my bottom yoke (triple trees as you know them) but as I want to be fitting some oversize bars which I've yet to figure out how, I thought I'd ask quiz the monster collective as what is best to do next.

Ideally a new set of yokes that enable me to fit the 916 forks to my early (carbed) 900 Monster but also enable me to have some better looking large diameter handlebars at the same time. I think I've narrowed it down to the 2 options;

1. Stock bored / shimmed with some kind of converters (cant find any for early Monsters)
2. Speedymoto yokes - think these are out of production and were designed for clip-ons not traditional bars
3. Something else  ???

All suggestions greatfully received  [thumbsup]

good luck finding much cheaper if any. and IMA do great work too! its almost like your not paying a cent for the brand, its pure product.

P.S. i love my IMA triples

I'm already sold! Just need to save up the pennies.

£400 to me seems like a great way to tick all of my boxes in one go  [beer]

I've got a Cyclecat Top Triple for SBK forks that fit 2000 and older Monsters. It has shims for the lower triple. If you're interested we can talk deal via PMs

It's black - and requires some flavor of clip on. The cyclecat tops have no accommodation handle bar mounts.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

Cheers for the offer but I want regular bars on my monster.

If she was going to be a toy I'd happily run clip ons but I sometimes use my bike for work and prefer the leverage around town from handle bars.

PS I emailed them yesterday with a few questions and got a reply waiting for me first thing this morning at work which was very detailed and informative - seems like very good customer service to me  [clap]
