SEBSPEED Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I made a small aluminum tank and wrapped it with carbon fiber vinyl to hide it. It is mounted just behind the radiator on a real carbon fiber bracket attached to the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occse Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 The Honda Deauville upper fork bridge is 100% interchangeable with the original 3rd gen upper bridge? Is that a good solution for superbike handlebar conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occse Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 What would be the recommendation regarding thrttle cable for a superbike handlebar conversion? ST1100/ST1300 have the same end fits like the original one? How much are they longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used st1100 cables on my 5th gen handle bar mod, the hardware fittings matched but they were only just long enough and the angles where they meet the throttle grip are a little tighter than original. I also had to trim 3/4 of an inch from the outer case of the push cable (not so easy) to get it to match the distance between the cable brackets on the throttle body and the throttle quadrant. I now wonder if the st1300 cables might have been better? The biggest challenge of the job was getting the bars and master cylinders/leavers on them to clear the underside of the windscreen fairing edges and tank on full lock. I ended up with about a match stick width of clearance on top and I had to shorten the bars an inch to get this. You may also need to mod the bango locators on your master cylinders so the lines don't conflict with tops of your suspension and to improve their direction lead to maximise slack in the lines.

Occse Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 ST1100 or ST1300 thorttle cable is the longer? How much difference between the two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occse Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Just got an ABM top yoke for the VFR. If any one else hs something lik this could you please tell me whether only 6-7mm of threaded part goes through the top yoke? Is that sufficient for the Service Manual tightening torque? http://keptarhely.eu/view.php?file=20180913v00oc9wtw.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
