I hate to say it but I need to borrow a suzuki slingshot top & bottom yoke and stem.
I have bought a set of yokes of evilbay that take R1 legs but they have a gsxr stem. I need them for Pommy to get the headstock made for my new frame.
If you have an old set of bearings even better...
Can anyone help ??? Beer <s>and lots of luving from Banditrod [:X] </s> awaits...

I most certainly am Mr Boris. Would it be ok to borrow them for 2-4 weeks ?
Is it possible for you to post them to PommyChopper (at my expense obviously) ?

I'll leave that open to the gsxr guru's mate...
Are all slingshots the same headstock ????

I took an '89 GSXR 1100 RWU front end off and put a 1992 USD front end in it's place. No mods at all to stem, spacing or bearings. Pretty sure the headstocks were all the same. Get a second opinion though.

Yep. USD and RWU stems are the same from 85 through to 95.

According to Sudco website both suzuki and yam's use the same sizes..
All '86-'95 GSXR's are 25x47x15mm Top and 30x55x17mm Lower.
The FJ1100&1200's use the same sizes (and FJ's are the same as xjr's)
So now I just need the stem length.
I will go and measure my stem [:0] and put up a pic with measurements.
Could anyone with a suzuki one on the bench measure theirs for me ? Might save Boris having to post his to me.;)

Here's the link...very useful...

'89 Slingshot stem is 229mm from top to topside of bottom clamp (yoke is a Pommy term - you live in Australia now)

But "clamp" is an American term and you live in Australia.

Just wanted to stir the shit bucket a bit, was looking a bit stale.

Si, Seppos call them triple trees. [u]Australians</u> (like you, Nobby & Sharky) say triple CLAMPS. Anytime yous want me to learn yous proper 'Strayan, let me know.

The tree is the whole thing together. Two triple clamps and a stem make a triple tree.

Ah yes, TK teacher pic:
