Title: Universal steering swaps for fork swaps
Post by: tt_four on December 15, 2009, 05:01:19 PM
I can't post a direct link because of the way the site is, but they're listed as "Universal steering stop" and they're about 75-80% of the way down the page. I know I've seen a number of threads on here asking what to do about steering stops when doing fork swaps, and seen a couple different options, but this is the first time I've seen things actually made for it. Found the link from the SV/GSR thread. This should probably go in the wiki with fork info, but I don't know how to do stuff in the wiki.

Oh yea get a hose clamp and a lump of aluminum. I dont see how its superior to a zip tie and a chunk of car tar.
I actuallty prefer a L steel piece and bolt on the lower triple for a GS though.
Cool.

I never would've thought anything of it had it not been for that one guy who was just fixing up his bike recently, and he was trying to come up with solutions that would pass the MOT test wherever he was from. I still don't know that these would pass, but it was the first time I've ever seen anything that was actually made to do it, so I figured I'd throw it in there.

Much better looking than attaching crap...
and they are adjustable... but then you could always just zip-tie more crap

Don't need steering stop to pass MOT
