Thanks for the info and pictures. Using the old stem as a bushing is a nice idea.

once the stem was in the lower tree the hole in the upper clamp had to be be milled out and the boss around the bottom of the hole needed milled down .100 thsnths.also had to take the kz washers for the stem bolt and machine a holder so that i could cut down the o.d. of the washers in the lathe as they were too big on the o.d..the stem bolt was rusty and i spun it and tried to sand most of the rough stuff off.i forgot to take the camera with me so i have only the assembled pics after i went back in the house.

i got the mounts welded on and ground back to shape.still need to do a little finish sanding and drill some bar mount holes.i thought they turned out nice,the forged aluminum of the tree and the extruded aluminum that i made the gauge mounts out of didn't want to play nice together.welding aluminum is tricky.

anybody with machining tools willing to take my kz stem and 99 r1 bottom w/stem still in and put the kz stem in the r1 tree? I will pay whatever a machine shop would charge. I have access to nearly no tools here at school, and would prefer to support a KZR member with experience than taking it to a machine shop.
