Will a 749 top yoke fit on to a 996?

I'll check tomorrowbut I think the answer is Yes, put may have to adapt the steering damper mount/steering lock

They are rather nice and expensive

Hmmmmm is that expensive thing again, isn't it

i looked into this and concluded that the damper mounting wasnt compatabe! as said by Kev

I couldnt really see a way around it, bottom yoke seems fine though

Hi All, I recently fitted a 749 top yoke to my 996, but have ohlins damper, all I needed to do was to extend the length of the spacer to the frame.
Steering lock no good, but never used it anyway!!!

It gives a slighty higher bar position and different angle.
Hope this is of use Chris.
