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.
Thought I'd address a few questions:
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.
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.
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!

Just ordered one up.
Can't wait to feel the difference.
I always wondered why Yamaha put the steering post where they did

So far we are manufacturing billet steering shaft blocks, rail extensions, billet wheels, offset axle kits, and the relocator. In the works are: more wheel designs, tunnel block-offs for apex and nytro, storage system for the nytro, billet steering clamp covers, billet risers, and a whole buncha other neat doodads.
Whatever it is, you can bet it will be the best part you can find, for the best price anywhere!

I also already had a relocate kit but the oil lights alone are worth it. It eliminates so much play from the plastic bushings. The quality of the kit is outstanding. Here are few pics from my install. Spent the weekend on it and love it.
Edit: FYI, In the last picture my plastic isn't fitting quite right. That is because of the trail tank, not the relocate.

We have finally received fitment, performance, and durability reports for the "relocator" from our adopted chief test pilot... Mr. Brad Story.
After a couple late spring test sessions, Brad reports asthetics, fit and finish second to none.
He also reported that OFT Racing's "relocator" offers an exceptional increase in forward movement of the steering shaft; well above the nearest competitor's product. He was also impressed by the heat resistance required to stand up to 300+ hp propane turbo punishment - a feature no other company offers, and conditions no other bushing will withstand.
Mr. Story was also gracious enough to ask some of his film co-stars to test our product as well. It seems that the general consensus from all of the fellas is hands down POSITIVE! (after a few handlebar adjustments)
OFT Racing wishes to extend a special thank you to all of the "movie riders" that have ridden and tested our products, even during the gruelling spring months of film production...
...we appreciate your support, and LUUUUUVVVV yer movies! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks again,
