Well me front end feels a little to light really maybe its because i got used to the forks being way through the clamps before i switched to the new flat bars on her or maybe now the front end needs the rear raising a little to put some more weight on it ? Dogbones maybe? other suggestions?

What pull through do you have?

its 10-15mm

standard is 18.5mm. any less and it will feel light. suggest you try a bit more.

what he said ^^^

Also, have you got your suspension set up right? Many people neglect to do this properly! A couple of hours spent getting the sag right and sorting base settings can work wonders!

Probobly not setup right no as i tend to leave it alone bar putting on lots of preload to make up for my 20st

ok the front end is 25mm now and still feels a bit light to me how far can i go before ground clearence is a big problem ?

Generally when it starts to scrape ....

Start jacking the back up now - YXF dogbones work a treat and will cost you less than £20 (and an hour of your time)

YXF YZF.
And I happen to have a pair of dogbones of the YZF. Are you interested?

no pics of your bike so can't see what you've done, but am I right in thinking you've changed the top yoke? So the measurement you need to make is from the bottom yoke then innit? cos if your top toke is thinner than the stock top yoke plus the clip-on, your measurement of 25mm could still be too little.

as Phuk said - is your suspension set correctly? rear damping and perload? tyre pressures too.

top yoke is about the same as the orginalso measurements will be like for like

sure im interested £?

How about £15? Keep in mind that postage will be about €10 / £7,43 extra.
Edit: darn, that's a whole lot less then the <£20 Phuk suggested

I got a PM from Killerwhale in the meantime, he was interested too but I think it will not be suitable for him because he already has dogbones from Kedo.

Edit: I'll give some measurements, as they are not genuine from the Yamaha factory.
They look like this (although not so shiny, took a picture from the net)

Length from hole to hole: 170mm
holes diameter 12 mm
Width (on straight part) ~23 mm
Thickness 6 mm

local yamaha dealer has quoted me £16 the pair so will probobly go there for them as there new and no postage but thanks anyway
