Pm sent. I want the forks if you'd be willing to ship.

That's a really smart idea on how to save speed wobble. I probably would have done the opposite had it happened to me, so thanks for that! And that picture really helps show the offset difference. Sticking with the zzr top clamp will most certainly be the the way to go. I think I'll try to...

Not sure if this was what you were looking for but here's the pictures comparing the xs/zzr lower triples. The xs doesn't have the stem and it best to hell haha. But I'm going to say they are both forward leading axles judging by the angles, right? I think they look pretty close.. Also here's...

Another question: how interchangeable are top clamps? I want to run handlebars vs clip ons and wasn't sure if anything with the same Fork MM would fit? I wasn't too worried about the center hole for the stem, figured that could be bored out to fit easily if it's too small. Only other thing I...

I like the way this front end sits. The gap from the wheel/frame is right where I like it. I wanted a sport bike front end and I found this for dirt cheap. Even if it's not a more modern suspension I figured it would be somewhat of an improvement over stock. I'd like to use the zzr triple...

I think that puts me at about 1/4" short, and if I pull the stem out another 1/4" I don't think that would leave much left in the lower clamp. At least not enough that I'd feel safe to ride/abuse on.. Do you think I'd be better off trying again with a new xs stem or just look for triples that...

Never heard of that before. I'll look into it. I did think about just trying to find different triples that fit. From what I looked up I think they're 41mm but I went to measure it myself to make sure the info from the seller and info I found online were correct

Aluminum. There's a little sleeve going through the center, which has a little lip on the top. I believe that sleeve is steel

Makes sense. That doesn't worry me too much, I just don't want to pull the stem out anymore from the lower clamp than it already is

When I had everything installed the lower bearing seem to be tight up in the frame, it turned smoothly and wasn't loose.. But I'll double check that next time

Leo, I do recall removing the ball bearing races. I know this because I didn't take them out the first time I tried to fit everything, haha! So maybe the top race needs pressed in a little more? 650skull, I actually used that link to make sure I was doing the install right, but still don't...

So I was told from 70-73 the xs650 had short triple tree stems and the rest are longer. Is there any way verify what year a triple tree if off of? I'm doing a zzr 600 ninja front end swap. Bearings aren't available to swap the ninja triple trees, so I had a machine shop press an xs650 stem into...

Found a write up about it. Looks like I need to use a dremel and go in pretty far. I'll give that a shot, thanks guys!

Grinding seems to mend them together more.. Should I keep grinding to find a break?

So they are welded in? I couldn't tell if it was just built up dirt and grime.. I'll try grinding a little more

Can it be pressed out or do I need a machine shop to do this? I'm trying to use the press at my work when I'm on lunch. I need the stem off my xs650 for my front end swap. The one from my donor bike slid right out (ninja 600) but the xs650 one isn't quite as easy.. Any tricks or tips? Or does it...

Just the motivation I needed to keep things moving with this build.. zzr6 front end! Still waiting on a few pieces to finish the front end swap, but I had to mock it up [emoji4]

I'm sent. Send me a picture

Ill keep that in mind, thanks!

Didn't know here was a difference. I have an 82
