Did you end up welding the lower triple tree to the stem like the stock one had been? If not, what held it in? If yes, was the triple tree steel? Sorry for all the questions, I'm new to this.

with most of these swaps you are putting the steel kz stem into the aluminum lower form the donor bike.
so,
no welding dissimilar metals together.
if the kz stem is originally welded in the lower then i make a stepped sleeve that will register on a counterbore in the lower triple,and weld it together inside.
you can see the counterbore in the bottom of this lower triple,that the step that is now on the stem will register on.
once they are pressed together the force of the clamping action of tightening the nuts will insure that it is not going anywhere.
