I may be interested in the Katana spacers.  How do they work?  Do you use the stock steering stem and triples off the Katana?  Do you still use the GS500 steering stem bearings or do the Katana bearings mount in the spacers?  Thanks for the info.

The spacers go above and below the top adjuster ring. Very cool item. It lets you run the kat FE on a GS frame with nothing needing machined or welded ...
Cool.

As Buddha posted everything is GS,bearings included.The stock Katana triples and stem are retained.The only modification that maybe needed, is a little filing on the stem, to allow the top bearing to drop down into the bearing race, in the head tube.Then the seal goes on followed by the stepped spacer,the stem nut,the smaller spacer,upper triple clamp,and  triple clamp bolt.I have a set of Katana triples in my building.I can get a pic of the set up and post it.

Yep,me gots paypal.

This is for instruction purposes only.I used a GS stem and katana triple just to show how things would look assembled.The step in the spacer fits down inside the seal and holds the seal in place.The upper spacer is to make up the room left between the stem lock nut and upper triple clamp.




If there is interest in these spacers,I can get dgyver to make more, or possibly get permission from him to have some made up.Please let me know before I ship these, so I can get some made based off the ones I have.

After this post I will be offline until tomorrow afternoon,1-25.

After you sell your Dynojet kit, I have one unused if someone else wants one. Same one as you have. (Different artwork on the box.)

Katana front end spacers are sold.

However,I have spoken with dgyver,and he has given me his blessing and blue prints to make more spacers.I will try and get a couple quotes around town the next couple days and make a specific thread on those.

Everything else listed above is still for sale.

LOL I knew those other parts would be a hard sell.The spacers I sold for a little less than what I had in them.Hope to get more made up.
