Hey Guys,
having lots of challenges with the change over to XS750 front end (i had no front end at all so not really an upgrade)
I was just doing a mock-up before welding the stem to the bottom yoke and found that the raised part of the bottom yoke that the bearing sits against holds the bottom yoke away from the frame.
In the photo silver is the XS750 and black one is XS650
With the XS750, and taper roller bearing, the bottom yoke hits the frame neck tube before the bearing.
I guess the solution is spacers before fitting the bearing on the stem to raise it up - bit of a balencing act so that it does not shorten the length of stem coming out of the top, particularly with the Taper roller bearings .
Any thoughts?
I will do a full write up once i have it completed!
