Abstract
A front fork yoke for a motorcycle where the yoke includes a parallel pair of posts rigidly maintained laterally spaced apart by a pair of parallel semi-circular arches extending laterally between the posts. The imposts of the upper arch are curved rounded-over shoulders. The front face of the yoke is smoothly rounded-over towards the rear face of the yoke. The arches are upwardly convex and support the motorcycle head tube therebetween. The lower arch is butt-jointed to the fork uprights without the use of collars external to the uprights.
