connor Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Ok bought a new front end for my project, its from an Aprilia RS4 125, now the plan is to fit clip on but the Aprilia top yoke has them built in. This is how it is now, the question is can I remove the bits I have circled below without affecting the strength etc? No i won't be removing anymore material than absolutely needed and will shape the edges to match, any help would be appreciated. Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 where are you going to bolt the clip-ons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connor Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Gonna get some that go round the fork tubes, under the yoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marb Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 The ignition barrel holder thingy no problem. I would be very careful removing the clipon holder thingys. As the hole might be deeper than expected, into the yoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycee Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Why not use the Aprilia clip-ons? Saves hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't tell from the single photo, but removing the metal from around here looks like it could take some of the fork clamp bolt threaded holes.

Gix Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Lob em off..if it does go further in get the indentations ally welded up and smoothed off edit.. just re looked at the pics and the clip on holders seem to already drop below the surface so you should be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanWinkle Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 wont putting the clip on's on the stanchions bring you too far forward over the front end?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark/Foggy Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'm of the stick it in the vice and see what happens when you take a 'Bastard' file to it. Smaller files would be appropriate for making it look nice . If it starts going Pete Tong it's not the most expensive component on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayla Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 It'll be fine. I use clip-ons under the top yoke on my RS. I haven't reshaped the yoke though, mainly because I'm a lazy cow. The standard RS bars are steel and the bolt threads into them through the yoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but its not a rs its only the forks he is marrying to a superdream frame.doesnt this also throw up an issue with the bars and tank clearance when turning?.
