I am attempting to install a 2004 sportster 1200 front end on my xs650. Here is what I have learned so far:
Called TC Bros and ordered:
30x48x15mm BEARING RACE × 2 (SKU 119-0079)
1 in. STEERING BEARING SET × 1 (SKU 119-0080)
You need to keep the dust shield and the top race from the stock bottom bearing set. I'm an idiot and threw this away during my build. The part number is:
256-23412-00. This serves as a spacer so you don't have to cut the bottom of the neck, only take off that bottom tab. This spacer measures roughly 7mm (0.28) inches (cheapy caliper)
Basically following the instructions here:
