Hi all
Just pressed out the stem of my xs650 after much pissing about trying to take old weld off a rusty stem bottom , anyway got it out and when trying it gsxr bottom yoke or triple to USA folk it's not the same size hence the stem is baggy where as original is a press fit ? Around half a mm out ?
How the hell do I get around this ? Turning out to be a right hassle
Original xs stem is welded to yolk at the bottom and gsxr is press fit , don't really fancy trying to weld steel to aluminium as can't see it working , is building stem up with weld a possibility and grinding back to same size as gsxr stem ?
