So front end is coming along more. No pictures yet but after messing with the Kawi neck, I found the bottom raceway sizing from the yamaha had the same diameters as the kawi's which means you can mount them to each other. The top raceway is smaller on the yamaha where the kawi is same as the bottom sizing. So instead of trying to press out the yamaha stem, I ordered some timken bearings for the ninja which should match up with the bottom of both the ninja and yamaha front end and allow me to make a collar nut to come from the top to space and center there. This was a major find/win in my mind. Will find out more in a week when the bearings arrive.

Side note, ebay guages I ordered came in. Since I'm changing wheel sizes and such, I wanted to get back a working speedo so I landed on this guy below using magnetic sensor design and will also replace all the other gauges and display indicators.
