Alternative Kat top yoke for handlebars

[dynodave]

Does anyone know if any other Suzuki top yokes are a straight swap for an 82 1100 kat top yoke so that I can use handlebars instead of clipons? 

Cheers

For a handlebar conversion on your Katana, look for an aftermarket top yoke with risers (brands like ABM, LSL, or Topyokes.uk). You can also modify your stock yoke by drilling and adding risers, or swap in a compatible yoke from a Bandit or SV. Just check fork size, steering stem fit, and plan for longer cables. Let me know your model/year for exact options.

I had top yoke off an ET on my Kat so I could use flat bars

Ok, you need the top yoke off a chain drive gs1000e, it has the right offset for the Kat bottom yoke. The et has leading axle forks so you'll need the bottom yoke too for that.

had forgot that and I have an et. Think the 82 and 83 1100e have correct offset they have a bit of a drop to them so forks may need to stick up maybe 1/2" to keep all thing the same.
