Is this right ?

I was assembling the steering head earlier,and noticed the stem doesn't come up a lot and this seemed like the only place for the lock nut. Am I missing anything?

You need to downsize photos in order to post them here.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Plummen As far as i can tell. It just seems weird to put the lock nut between the upper tree and steering neck

Yes the nut goes on underneath the top triple tree,the big bolt goes through top tree into lower tree/stem. :)
