Howdy ya'll, after digging around for a while and trying to resurrect as much information I can, I'm coming up empty handed. Just got a 07 R1 front end (triples, forks, brakes, etc) to see the possibility of swapping it onto my 07 FZ6. The door stopper right now is that the r1 stem is just way to short to toss into the frame even without bearings, washers, etc. The three main threads I am coming across are the USD for dummies, the R6 triple tree modding, and the all balls conversion threads, which a lot of the pictures are gone for the latter of the two so while the text is really helpful, it's hard to know what exactly is going. I guess my main question is, is it a) possible to swap the stem from a fz6 into the r1 lower even though it will be a 1mm smaller difference b) would it just be better to find an r6 stem and pop it in. Thanks for reading, or if this even makes sense, let me know!
