Edit - is it just me, or can other people not attach pictures to posts any more? Says something about board quota exceeded. :(

They are not put trough the yokes. The tops of the forks line up with the yoke.
I did this because the YZF forks are shorter. I used raised clipons, hence the riding position.

Just wondering what you had done with them, as I didn't measure the TRX forks before I sold them. Do you by any chance recall what the difference in length was?

standard fitting is for the YZF fork tops to be level with the top yoke, and the standard YZF bars fit under the top yoke. IIRC, when I had my YZF front end in, it dropped the front of the bike by about 60mm? less than with the std TRX forks fitted with about 20mm showing over the yoke.
New track bike! It even works.
it may do, but it ain't a TRX now, is it ?!?!?!? :evil:

..... oh, and heres a photo, exiting Edwinas at Mallory Park, UK... :D

Ah, thanks for that, think I'll put the forks back flush with the yokes.

As for track day pics, you'll notice the title of the thread says nowt about TRXs... [-X [-( [-(

Oh, nice belly pan by the way! :P

Checking to see if it's "just you" or not...

Yup, there's a problem.... Let me see if I can fix it (that's my job!).

Okay, I increased the "quota". Should be okay now.

For (everyone's) information, the "quota" is the amount of server space allocated for attachments. We are still well within the limits of our account but in the future we may go over and I'll need to purchase more space.

If possible, with pictures at least try to use photobucket or one of the other free hosting sites to "link / embed" your pictures "off site". Not only that, but it will ensure your photos remain in the event of a server disaster here.
