    Speaking of moderators, this one thinks the information in this thread is important enough to warrant that it stay on topic.

    Well, it never was meant to be a discussion, just a how-to.
    2 pages a year is pretty typical for that. Most of the really good stuff is pinned so it's easy to find (including this thread)

    Depends what you mean by “a few mm off”....

    I’m not too keen on riding a bike where the line between life and dirt is only a few mm wide. It’s already thin enough

    No such thing as a 92 TL1000, not introduced until 97.
    GSXR was USD in 92 so I suppose that's what you meant.

    Sorry was a little tired when I wrote this. By a couple of mm's the steering stem on the gsxr was alittle long and required a spacer made for under the bottom bearing and bottom tree to make up for the extra length of the stem. Note: I used the factory steering bearings as well for the swap from the 550. I will up date once the roller is back with measurements of the spacer with photos
