It's no yoke

Well it is really, Steves forks were shy of a top yoke and Steve never shy of a bit of machining is making a lightweight replacement.

One of the major hurdles of racing a vehicle at Bonneville is geting it there, our bikes will be travelling by sea. Thanks to all at Carpenter & Patterson that helped put together the pair of shipping crates we will need.
