  1. Well fist discovered my right hand clip on has cracked on the lower Hinge,
    I Was looking for replacement and came across accossato clip ons, but they list the size as 53.5
    Not 53mm. Best measurement I could get on my fork leg was 53.3mm
    So wondered if anyone had a pair on their bike
    Thanks
     
  2. Not sure about the accossato ones. I fitted a pair of Renthal ones a few month back and they’re the closest you’ll get to the RS ones but at a fraction of the price. Good fit.
     
  3. Thanks I’ll look at those but really wanted the hinged type
    Don’t fancy taking the top yolk off
     
  4. Agree with you there, that can be a pain...
     
  5. Taking top yoke off is normally extremely straightforward...
    Disconnect steering damper
    Undo pinch bolts on forks and steering nut
    Pull off yoke
    Viola!
     
  6. It probably is but I only wanted to change the belts and so far I’ve replaced the qr connections, front v Piece of the fairing, found a cracked clip on I darn’t touch anything else
     
  7. In for a penny....!

  8. If you are ok with Changing belts then none of the jobs on the outside of the motor should be a problem to you. Take it one step at a time Markduc, there's Plenty of good, free advice on here, and there is no better way to get to know your bike and keep an ageing machine in good fettle, than taking bits off, checking and cleaning them.

  9. Thanks for the encouragement, I think I was having a bad day.
    I’m Sure I won’t break anything today o_O
