Not sure about the yb's, but my sb6 and db4 both have solid alluminium bars with rounded ends... All one piece.

Maybe a bit late...but further confirmation....standard braided lines, gold series clutch master and standard banjos.....cantered back at around 15 degrees and it clears the clocks (if your YB11 has these clocks...2 types fitted...these are the earlier ones)



Oh and yeh...as others...clip on bars are solid alloy...so bar end is part of bar...it being the end bit....you could always chop part off and drill and thread an insert f you wanted to fit "proper" bar ends......my addage though is if it aint broke, dont fix it

I have a later clocks but no braided lines. When the wheel turned to the right clutch line connector/fitting is touching my dash.

From pictures I gather that fittings ha e 15 degrees and pointing down. I would have to try to install clutch line fitting horizontally so it would pass right over the dashboard

Thank you for your help

There's a Ducati racer/engineeer/business owner living locally here in NZ that makes replacement Cast iron rotors as well as replacing bobbins or machining the carriers etc.

So he can make new rotors no problem.

Got him to make me a rear one for the Furano and it's mint.
He made it 1mm thicker so its slightly heavier but i went with his judgement on that as less warpage or breakage is worth the extra 100gms.

Mines got the shallow 320mm front rotors that are very expensive to track down so ideal to get new ones made locally (somewhere around $450NZD for the pair)

New Brembo Carbon ceramic Organic pads arent too bad but do miss the sintered crazy bite and instant drying out of the disks in wet weather, you get no braking when they are wet and cold and i ride all in conditions.

No need for that replacement. I spoke to a friend of mine who is genius mechanic and he told me that speedo will read correctly even if I install bolts on the Stainless Steel rotors. So, based on that you can install rotors from a whole bunch of bikes. I will be installing ones from either Aprilia Falco or Benelli Tornado. They are one and the same
