I think you could be right after all... I could have sworn that the ST used the alloy yokes but I think I remember working on one and noting the flat steel top yoke like you mention. Apologies for the confusion.wirewrkr wrote:I say it because it's true.
They are approximately .25" wider.
Not only that, but the R65 is of a COMPLETELY different design.
Upper and lower yokes both being of cast aluminum, whereas the ST and G/S were
similar in that they were very similar in design to the standard big twin bikes from 1970-1984.
As a matter of fact they share the same dimensions center to center. The upper is the same type of flat steel as these bikes as well.
What this does mean is that if Sibbo's ST uses a GS bottom yoke he should be able to simply bolt a GS mudguard onto it. How's that for a silver lining...
