the stem does not fit snug in the headstock the bearing fit snug is all and the bearings should just fit right in.

i think you will find the 01- and the 02+ have the same OD body stem and the difference is the threads on top where it goes through the triple and the top bridge nut. the bottem bearings look the same and i think you can use either year bearings for the top too

i've been slacking, but a few more...


tailsection with trunk lid welded in...




upper with bright side headlight welded and filled




modified valve cover for more rad clearance (added little k&n filter instead of overcomplicated breather setup, we'll see if this causes any trouble)





is there really an rc51 in there? and yes, that's a 1098s in the background

I like the fact that it said "colours," not "colors." Silly Canadians.

JK... a good buddy of mine is from Ottawa.

latest update: not much changed aside from bodywork, reworked the front harness a bit to eliminate a ton of spare crap, hooked up battery and tested it all and it's spot on. now i'm pretty much waiting for decals and an oil cooler then i can go hard on reassembly and cleaning/painting.... the mess is still EPIC hahaha





white sealer is on everything but the sides... just about ready to spray

you'd never know there used to be a headlight there...




my bodyman jamie absolutely NAILED the contour when he filled the headlight, awesome stuff.



tailsection with trunklid welded in. again, this guy does spectacular work, you'd never know it was a stock unit.
