So previously mentioned machining a spanner nut for this Yamaha front end so the triple tree's would mount on the Kawi neck. Picture are of the YZF75RR triple tree after I took the front end apart and the close up of a spanner nut that was machined down to make a collar. This will go down over the timken bearing and be like a spacer against the stem itself. This will allow me to use the front end with the original yamaha without having to swap the stem out as I originally had envisioned. I also added a couple pictures of the bottom triple that I bead blasted and then powdered coated with my new equipment and learning. Should be powder coating the front wheel between things this week with the yellowish orange.
