i went to the pro-flo site for bearing cross references.

some one tell me i am reading this correct, but the kz650-b bearing inside is the same as the 2001 gsxr inner diameter?

if this is correct, i should beable to buy the 650 bearing kit, and fit the bearings onto the gixer steering stem.

correct?:huh:

If I'm not mistaken that might be the case.

I have a Gixxer fork setup that I was gonna use and I seem to remember it being VEEEERY close to fitting when I bolted it in.

I glommed a copy of head bearing size with bike models underneath a while back from the SOHC4 forums and posted it here .
It goes through 2001 and should have your GSXR.
