Oh Yes... all that elec-trickery is fine and dandy!         But who did you find that is making stems to fit a ZX6 front end to your GPz? That's what we want to know!  
Don't be ridiculous! It's only a flesh wound!

slayer61, the company is Cognito Moto in Richmond Virginia if you search you can find their web store.

But to just confirm my bike is a KZ750 E with a GPz front fairing on it not a true GPz

But they list KZ1000, KZ750, KZ650 for different Fork conversions and they can do Custom as well. 

I will try and put some pics together of this project as you press out the old stem from the bottom triple clamp and press in the new one and install the bearings.

I'm putting a Moto gadget M unit blue in as well and will be building the wiring harness from scratch. Do you have a picture/drawing of how you did yours? I also used the Cognito Moto stem on my build as I'm putting the suspension from a 2005 GSXR 750 on my 77KZ 650. Nice build!!

Jaerho,

That Speedo project is crazy cool, I would love to have something like that on my project bike but to be honest I don't have the skills to make it myself.

Since you already developed the code and know all the required hardware for it I think you could make some coin selling them as a kit, if you ever decide to do that I know I would be interested.

Anyway I'm looking forward to see your bike completed I bet it will be awesome, keep up the good work and please keep updating since posts like this are a massive source of motivation for our projects.
