Hi all my front end on the old 12 has not been feeling to grand as of late so i am treating her to a new front :lol:
I am waiting on the forks triples and calipers from an A7F zx14 to turn up this week, but in the mean time i have stripped the old setup from the 12.
I have noticed that the top bearing on the steering stem is smaller the the bottom bearing on the stem 25mm top internal diameter and the bottom is 35mm ID.
This means that i will have to machine the zx14 steering stem to accomodate the smaller top bearing. Newer generation 12s have the same size bearings top and bottom so its nearly a straight swap to my annoyance !:rant:
Will post some more progress in the week when the forks arrive.
