Top yoke welding?

(1/3) > >>

El__burro:
Hello, Ive just realised that I have a tiny line in the top yoke and I am sure when I tighten it on the forks it will crack.
Can it be Mig welded?
thanks

JamesH:
A good tig welder should be able to do that and dress the weld prior to paint. Where are your 'D' washers?

bladeboy:
Gotta be tig welded as it is cast aluminium. ... A mig is no good.

AshimotoK0:
Think my 750K0 was TIG welded at some time .. RGP750 has it at the 'mo. As James says don't forget the mega expensive 'D' shaped spacers !

MCTID:
You can probably find a replacement Yoke for less money than a Welder (and all your messing about) will cost.

Look on DK's Website or E Bay.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that you can grind off some of the material on correct sized washers to make them the 'D' shape that is needed to ensure the Yoke doesn't crack when fitted - if you don't have or can't buy the OEM washers.

Can any member post the dimensions on the Forum?
