Guest GAZMAN Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Got some more details/pics of the steering stem modification?TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW AND I CAN EXPLAIN YOU What did you modify to make it work in the VFR frame? Was it too short/long? the lenght of the steering stem was ok I only had to machine the upper bearing zone and the threads to match honda ones, then you only have to put a collar on the upper triple tree to match the difference of diametres and you are done:) I'm not familiar with the 3 gen stem set-up, but I've had a set of 07 gsxr 600 forks sitting here for some time as they look to be a great 6th gen swap. They are the longest of any GSXR fork(close to rc51 range) 28 7/8"(733mm) and seem to use the same lower tree stem bearing as the Honda and as you found the stem seems to be a usable length. I was hoping to just find a upper bearing with the Honda O.D. & GSXR I.D.. :blush: I found one of these surfing ebay but I never been able to find it again and I decided to machine the steering stem, think that the upper bearing of the gsxr ID is 30 mm and the vfr one is 28.6 mm I havent avaiable the OD but I remember it was a quite difficult bearing to find Good luck and don´t forget to post here if you can find it Greetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
