    The stock steering stem outer diameter is the same for both the rd250 and yzf 750. Therefore, the rd250 bearings swap over to the yzf front end and allow it to mount like it was meant to be there. Overall length of the steering stems is the only major difference. A few minutes on the lathe will take care of that along with a fresh set of bearings from All Balls.

    Early 90s FZR 600 swingarm with an alloy wheel to match the front. Upgraded dual shocks. Ducati 900ss front rotors. Modified DB chambers with Toomey style silencers. YZF 600 rearsets. GSXR steering damper.

    After that shit is done I can ride it and start building the spare 350 motor for the bike.
