    Top Yoke cover

    Looking to fit  a Carbon Fibre or vinyl type cover for the top yoke (Triple Tee).
    I hate the way my keys etc leave rub marks.

    I've tried a few interwebby searches without out any luck.

    Anyone found one that fits ?

    I've not seen an actual replacement cover, but there are numerous stick on covers on Ebay.  Some more durable than others no doubt, but all replaceable when wear appears.  Just realized I am talking MkI and you have a sport, so I am not sure my comment applies ... I'l l leave it there just in case.

    I fixed this by keeping the keys in a soft leather pouch.  This keeps the other key (for the top box) isolated from the metal when riding along.  After 67k, no scratches or marks on the top yoke.

     :0461: Nowt looks worse than a scuffed up top yoke. Lanyard round me neck with luggage keys, stop at a caff, ignition key goes on lanyard, so's I don't forget where I put it.
