well they are done....just a slight mod to the stem length and presto wammo finito!

they worked out pretty well....steering is just like stock...and the ride height can be raised about 5/8" ...we tried to get the whole inch but the material would have been too thin...(in my opinion)....anyways...thats what they are going to look like....

As far as getting the stock hight back, I ran accross these a while back:

1" fork extension caps, which would give you all your ride hight back.

Again, excellent work Ben, you've outdone yourself! They look even sexier in the video :kiss:

i just noticed the bars are crooked....i put the clamps on opposite of each other and because they are drilled offset...(so you can mount the bars forward or back) they are cockeyed....turn one around and they will be perfect! ;-)

The stem is a new piece designed to fit kHz bearings but use the gsxr stem hardware.

no we made new stems...so that we could use kz/z1 bearings ....the code got erased so we had one from before and now we know what needs to be done....just the end threads need to be moved ....not a big deal
