Yokes / triples for unholy union I stumbled across this manufacture of yokes in the UK. £120 for a top yoke, custom yokes normally the same price as standard designs. He will also make bottom yokes and stems. Not sure what he will charge for a stem but there might even be the option of reusing the BMW stem - this could mean a set of yokes for £240. Got to be worth contacting him if you are planning a conversion.
1290 Super Adventure S owners' thread Given I have one on order and we've seen the launch, I thought it might be time to start one for the 1290 SA S version. 🙂 The current 1290 SA thread would still be appropriate to the T model and anything that is applicable to all 3, so I think this one should be for S specifics. If it turns out there is not much difference I suppose it can be scrapped/merged.
