bar conversion once and for all.

Post by techfurby » Thu Jan 12, 2017 8:38 am

ok as it has been discussed in previous threads but no one has or knows for sure...
will a early yamaha fzs 600 top yoke (98-01) fit the trx.
if so is it a straight swap or what needs to change..i know which cables need to change and priced them up and I am working on fairing brackets.
the main thing is yay or nay to the fzs 600 top yoke.
otherwise I will go down the route of bar risers that attach to forks. main reason I ask is cost..used fzs top yoke $80 in aus. otherwise I'm looking at $200 shipped to aus from UK for after market risers and setup.
any help would be great thanks.

You would have to fit fazer top & bottom yokes as the offset is different but you will end up with a steeper head angle which might make the bike twitchy. Looked into this idea myself & got that info from a guy at Yamaha UK tech department who happened to own a TRX.

ok cool. my friend has a abe top yoke with risers on his trx. it's stamped with fzs 600 on it.so I presume it fits the fzs aswell as trx.
surely I might just have to take a gamble.. lol get one cheap enough to try..worse comes to worse put it on ebay again lol..
