Does anyone know if the enitre front end from an 01-02 929 will fit on a 98 900RR? I know the bearings are the same part number, but I don't know if the thickness for the steering head (the hole in the frame where the yoke stem lives) is the same.

Can someone measure the thickness of the steering head for me?

Cheers.

Thickness?
Do you mean the length of the steering stem?

 

Kind of. What I really need to know is the distance between the two bearings. If they are the same as the 900, then I can bolt them straight in.

If nobody else can help before tomorrow I'll try to remember to measure mine.

 

im not sure of any measurements but i have seen 929 front ends on 900rr's so im assuming it fits no problem.

 

That is what I am hoping.

 

Its a straight swap over, use everything from the 929 front end, and it will drop straight in, i've done this conversion a couple of times now, without any problems.

 

Awesome! Thanks for the answer.

 

does anyone know if the 929 top yoke would fit on a 98 blade ????

 

Unlikely, the 929 has inverts.

 

Yep. Totally different dimensions. I have the 98 top yoke if you need it.
