ATTENTION KZ FRONT END SPECIALISTS
17 Jul 2012 03:33
Is there anyone who can swap the stems, or has one already? I don't know any machinists here, and probably have a better chance on here, id rather not do a 636 cause i heard there notorious for fork snaps. Id really like a swapped front end, anything but a 636, any ideas??????

Can't say I've ever heard of a snapped 636 front but there are many different options for forks. Many seem to use the gsxr forks and as for the stem swap, some can go in with just a bearing swap. If that doesn't work, Leon (531blackbanshee) is your man here for that.
Or this. :whistle:

I'm betting he meant "swap" instead of "snap" after reading it again, some people like different but so do I so can't blame him! There has been a ton of these swaps done with almost as many different ways of going about it so with a goal in mind, just pick a path your comfortable with and go with it! There are plenty of people willing a more than capable of helping so just ask.

I had to put a 750 stem on a 1000 front end once.
It was pretty easy and cheap.
I used a machine shop called AZTEK in clearwater FL it was under $100's
