Top Yoke

Evening all

I won`t get into a row about 998 Vs 999 looks etc but i really like the look of the 999 top yoke. Does anyone make a similar one to fit the 998?

Have you hugged your bike today?

You might be able to fit the lates calipers from the 998/999 to your bike if the centrs are ok. I find the new 4 pad calipers on my 998s unbeleivable.
