I don't have a press handy so on my Gpz, I used a Zx11 lower clamp by cutting the stock Zx stem flush with the triple tree then welding the OD of the Gpz stem into the ID of the stock Zx stem.

Just a thought....

Later, Doug

98-3513-5 & 99-3509-5 top and bottom bearings
The bottom did not set all the way down like the original did. Guess this is by design to shorten the stem length..
At the top you will have to use the original bearing cover. The cover center hole is larger then the stem so it fits loose. Either center the cover on the stem and tighten it down or weld it to the nut..
