i need a non welded gs stem to swap into a katan front end. I have my lower triple with the stem on there but its welded and i dont want to f@ck with it.
if anybody would like to swap stems or has and extra laying around i can buy that would be great..
( oh and before i get any messages saying "why dont you just file it down and get spacers?" thats a last resort...will only do that if i have to.)
send me a pic of what u need

this is what i need. although i need it to be the pressed in type. Which means if you flip the lower triple over you wont see a weld. That way i can press it into the katanas lower triple and then just slip the the whole front end on.
I have two well stocked bike boneyards near me...I can check for you.
Question; *What year GS's would have the pressed-in stem?
* What year is yours?
* Is it safe to say, if the lower tripleclamp is black then it's made of steel and so, the stems welded in? And if the triple is aluminum then the stems a press fit?
(Last, if your thinking of selling the gs front-end, and it's straight, I'm interested.)
