hi all. I have been trying and trying to remove the stem from the lower yoke to no avail, filed off the weld, no use, cut 3mm off bottom, heated the blasted yoke, smacked it to hell and back for hours, done nothing but mashed up the yoke, so what i wanna know is... are there any stems off other years (or bikes) that are the same dimensions as ours that may be a little easyer to remove or buy seperate? please help guys, projects at a road block!!

 

any year cbr that are aluminum bottom clamp. that should be easier to remove than the steel welded unit. so late model like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-...spagenameZWD1V

 

blindin! i'll see if i can get one if i cant get this one out. im gonna give it another try tonight, i have a new burst of energy as my usd forks arrived today! (yipee)
