Ok katana2 I am trying to put the gen2 tripple clamps and forks onto a 99 frame. I have been given a steering stem top nut which appears to not fit so is either for something other than a busa or I've got a gen1 steering stem top nut and they are smaller than the gen2 units Which is why I want to know if the gen1 and gen2 use the same steering stem top nut.
Secondly the steering stem I have appears to have the remanents of the lower steering stem bearing inner race and dust seal firmly attached and I need to remove it from the steering stem so that I can install the new one. And short of taking a grinder to it I don't know how to get it off.
Thirdly I am lacking the bolt which attaches the rear suspension knuckle to the frame, wreckers seem to not know what the correct bolt is and the stealershop wants rediculous money for all I see is just a bolt so I'm curious as to whether I'm able to purchase a bolt that fits from elsewere or if I need to use a genuine item.
And fourthly well it's always more fun playing with bikes with a drink in hand and a friend there to open the beers hahaha feel free to come over and have me explain my questions in person however don't expect to get away without having a few beers with me and telling a yarn or two
