I'm speechless Ben. They are CNC works of art my friend! I'll be proud to run those on my bike. I LOVE the 3 bolt bottom, and the top is beautifully sculpted. Like I said, speechless. Anodize those babies black, and......and....... and I'll need a plastic cover to make my keyboard easier to clean!

I"ll get the stem done....and mount them on pens bike to confirm everything is proper....then their yours....I can get 'em anodized here if you like....or you can do it there....what ever you want

I think they're gonna be pretty cool on the bike

Do you normally have them anodized before pressing in the stem?

ive done it both ways....anodizing adds about .0015 to the od.
I should be able to knock the stem out on Mon....the lathe is tied up till then.

I just want to make sure everything works as planned before I do it....also I have to mark out where the steering stops will go.
they will be pieces of bar stock drilled with an eccentric hole to allow for minute ajustment of the stops.

How much does your anodizer charge for a set of triples Ben? I've never had anything anodized before, but I imagine having it done in Canada is cheaper than in Southern California :ohmy:
By the way, BEAUTIFUL triple trees!

Ive got ya covered Leon...;-)
anodizing here costs about 65 dollars plus or minus
the trees should be able to raise the ride height an inch ....so using gsxr 1000 forks the stock ride height is just about achievable.

sorry abot taking so long with the stem boys....school is crazy...one more week and then Im done....well till Jan. anyway
