Drilling Yoke for risers.

[Lucas]

Ullo.

I'm about to fit risers but before I drill the yoke I should find out where the best place is..

Should I drill fresh holes or is it safe to drill out and widen the existing holes from the clip-ons. I think, from the looks of it, the existing holes are 6mm and they will need to be drilled to 10mm.

Just cause I know I'm probably not making sense, see attached pic, its an R1 yoke, not the TRX, but its the same shit.

I drilled mine in the same spots. Just gotta make sure you drill straight. ;)

Some info - GPR make an under-bar stabilizer that uses those holes to mount to. I've got one on my bike and the bar risers sit atop the stabilizer bracket, adding some more bar height.
