Putting handle bars on a Daytona

I'm in the process of converting my Daytona to a Street Triple. I had asked previously on the forum if anyone knew for a fact if the Street Triple top yoke/triple tree could be used with the Daytona bottom yoke/triple tree. Unfortunately nobody was able to give me a definitive answer.

Well I can now answer my own question.

If you want to put handlebars on a Daytona you can either:

1. Modify the existing Daytona top yoke/triple tree

2. Fit the top yoke from a Street Triple. If you do this then you MUST fit the bottom yoke/triple tree from the Street Triple also. The reason is the Street Triple yokes/triple trees have a different offset. If you try to fit just the Street Triple top yoke/triple tree IT WILL NOT FIT. You have to change both.

You can use top and bottom yokes/triple trees from either a Street Triple or Street Triple R as they are exactly the same part numbers.

Hope this helps anyone considering the same conversion.

I'll be starting a thread soon, too busy working on it at the moment. Changed the yokes and I'm now working on redirecting the wiring loom. I know nothing of electrics and this is a huge job (may have bitten off more than I can chew) which has to be done methodically or else I'll screw up big time. Fingers crossed!
