Has anyone succesfully mounted Speed Triple top clamp/bars on a 97-01 Daytona, while retaining the fairings (unmolested)?
Not talking about a naked conversion - just mounted regular bars onto the Daytona instead of the clip-ons.

Also would like to hear of any other bar conversions although S3 top clamp & bars is of most interest (actually would be a D'Ecosse custom S3/GSXR top clamp, but dimensionally fit will be similar to the S3)

Considering a '99 955i but would need to be able to fit regular bars - it looks tight!

I don't know about the 97-01 but I mounted S3 bars on my 02. I bought the risers and bars from Triumph and just drilled two holes in the yoke, because the yoke isn't flat I used a rubber spacer top and bottom. So far have used it for two years successfully. Much more comfortable but I also added a Laminar Lip as found I caught a lot more wind. I did go to long brake lines and ran two lines from the master cylinder rather than the crossover. There was enough slack in the wiring for it to work.

LSL produce top yoke and bar conversions for the Daytona. Anything of theirs I have had has been good quality.

On T595.net I was directed to this thread
Scroll on down to the post by Rich Halford with all the picture links - thought I'd reference it here for anyone else considering this.
