extremely nice B-art.
Youve got me really thinking now.
Was there any issue with the steering locks on the r1 lower triple clamp? Does it still have a good lock to lock?

You can always grind off stops, drill the lower yoke and mount some nice stainless turned / milled ones where you like remember. :wink:

Thanks

Steering stops is not 100% at the moment.
The lower triple clamp hits the back of the R1 lights.
And the Steerings stops hit the lock plate only just with 2 mm. A bit more would be better.
But last ride out felt very good.

Thanks Mincehead for mentioning that option, I might go that direction.
Need to fit the front mudguard again to. Spring 2013 I need to see the TUV again for the general Check.
Well Winter is coming so time to tinker again. :D

=D> Thanks for the good advise .Its summer here now and I havent had my TRX very long .So I will continue to enjoy riding it and fixing the small things before winter .Then I might park it up,go riding in the dirt on the 2000 wr400f yami, and make some mods along the same lines as you have done .
I need to work on the front forks ,but I will bare with them for now and do the upsidedown mod later.
Happy ,safe riding folks and thanks again :wink:
