Top yoke to allow Renthal Bar for FZR 1WG?
Basically i'm wondering if anyone knows of a top yoke that would fit straight on my FZR 400 1WG? I'm looking to turn it into more of a commuter/ streetfighter (DONT WORRY, IT WILL BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO ORIGINAL IF NEEDED!). Whilst im on the subject what cables could i use? as the standard one will obviously be too short! Any ideas or suggestions would be awesome cheers!

It's a Genesis huh ?
There are 4 models of 1WG
I reckon you have a top yoke similar to a FZR600, 38mm dia forks with bars above the yokes ??? TBH that isn't an unfriedly setup, your wrists will probably scream at you for the frist week but then it goes away especially if you ride it everyday. If you want flatter bars you might find it easier to use some raised clip-ons with a flatter profile (most bars have a 5 degree angle to them). Not sure what would use 38 forks but maybe try a Honda Bros. make sure they don't touch the fairing, make sure the clutch / brake master dosn't touch the clocks - it's an mot fail. Yes you'll need new cables and probably brake lines too. It works out expensive for a cheap fix, they look crap as well.

Unfortunately the 3tj yoke won't fit the Genesis forks are 38mm, the 3tj's are 43mm!
