Thought I'd address a few questions:
Even just taking Moto's sled off the trailer it felt better to me
!! LOL Gotta Love the TALL bars A Moto? Very nice build Gent's So how about some Apex parts???????????
Yes I am waiting for a Apex steering kit to get rid of the 1.5" of play in my bars.
Yes, we will be making a bushing block to fit the Apex. Frado, your set of three will be there next week for you to trial fit and then you can report back.
Just ordered one up.
Can't wait to feel the difference.
I always wondered why Yamaha put the steering post where they did
Thanks for the order sledheadd.
Apparently, they put the steering post where they did because there are some people who
sit down when they ride.
Don't know any personally, but I've heard rumors to that effect.
That's a nice piece. 7000 aluminum?

Thanks M5,
We actually recycle the beer cans that are consumed at the shop late at night to make our parts. We're considering using Molson cans to make parts for our friends to the north, but have not implemented that yet. Stay tuned.
Actually, all aluminum parts are machined from 6061 with certs tracable to the foundry. The bushings are an 863 Bronze alloy aka "super oilite". It handles high stress loads
extremely well with little to no wear. It is impregnated with SAE 30 weight oil for permanent lubrication. The bolts are class 12.9 fasteners with a tensile strength of 180,000 psi. And last, the kit comes with a small tube of #271 ( red ) loctite for a little extra insurance.
Thanks for all of the compliments!
