so today i went over to my buddys shop in wilmington shaw motorsports and he has a bin ( like 30 gallon rubbermaid) full of gsxr parts he hooked me up with a FREE 2004 gsxr front end



and i pick up my new member of the fams this weekend im sooo excited to once again mod


free:
rearsets
gsxr shock
tail section
front end
and a box of odds and ends



now my question is.... what exactly needs to be done to the stem of the gsxr front end for it to fit correctly buddah i would assume you know something about this matter? maybe not..

please all and any response will be greatly appriciated... and anything i do not use will be put into a donation thread once i pick threw my needed parts

Make a whole new stem.
Make sleeves for the top triple.
Put a big ass washer on top.
Thread that stem on top of the washer to cinch down on the top triple.

I can do this on my GS frame and send you a perfect one if you send me the triples only.
Cost ... unknown ... have to do it one time to know.
And,
Forget about getting a GS guage set on it or getting the ignition lock on it.

BTW these fit an SV1000 so perfectly, the whole kit and kaboodle works like a charm. Igntion lock, steering stop, SV 1K brake rotors in the radials on the GSXR legs.

Cool.
Buddha.
