I’ve attempted to diy install a 2004 sportster front end (given to me) on my xs650. I called TC Bros and ordered:
30x48x15mm BEARING RACE × 2 (SKU 119-0079)
1 in. STEERING BEARING SET × 1 (SKU 119-0080)
The harley stem was a bit short. I cut a little less than 5/16” off the bottom of the neck. It still felt a bit short so I ended up grinding the bottom lip of the harley stem where the bearing sits in order to squeeze in some more slack. Is this alright???? Any issues with this???? I think I read this process somewhere in one of the threads in the site though not sure It feels and appears ok. I’m attaching pics. I also read about addin dowel locks we will see
