Unfortunately neither will do these bushes. They are only available factory pre-fitted into the top yoke. Mine feel slightly sloppy on my AT and I was looking for replacements but haven't had any luck yet. I was wondering whether they could be matched up to some obscure car suspension bush.

I'm sure this would be possible - if one could get the old ones out intact (using a suitable drift?) and then measure outside diameter, inside diameter and length. The trick would be to get the bushes out/in without distorting the top yoke.

My answer to this was to 'procure' some suitably sized washers (M20 I think) and use them to pack the space out to give rigid mounts. I can't say the vibes increased noticeably after that, but it certainly gave the steering a more direct feel. I would heartily recommend the modification.

I notice my current RD07a Africa Twin doesn't have rubber mountings, so they must have done away with them on some models. That said, the RD07 does have very heavy bar end weights...

Are these any good?

Hi there, I've got similar issues with the top yoke bushes on my A/T, have you got any more detail on
a) how to get the bushes out, and
b) How you sorted it with the washers?
My A/T is my only form of transport, so I don't want to start a job without having everything ready first!
Cheers

a) You don't get the bushes out. Leave them in.
b) Remove the risers. Put a big washer either side of the yoke on each riser and tighten it up again so the washers contact the yoke and make it effectively rigid.

A Ha!

If only everything was that simple......

Cheers!!
