for a spacer for the longer stem, I took the needle bearings off the inner race, and used it upside down between the bearing and the stem nut, looks nice and clean

Looks good but the light looks really low; like vespa low. And are you running clear fuel lines? Any pics of how you used the bearings; kinda want to see what that looks like.

the light is 1/8th of an inch from touching the ignition.  the universal headlight mount doesn't stick out very far.  going on a ride today, and will post pics of my steering spacer when I return

here are the pics of my "spacer"

and the dust seal is solidly in there, so I forsee no problems with it.
