Steering Stem

Post by nick5446 »

Hey y'all!

Quiet little forum you've got here! Any chance someone has a technical drawing of the steering stem for one of these beasts? If not, diameters at the triple clamp interfaces would be helpful as well. If you've got a spare stem sitting on your bench and don't mind measuring it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe this is what you are looking for? The Service Manual is the most technical we have available:

Not quite, although that is useful, thanks!

Ideally I'm looking for something like this: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/k ... dified.jpg

I'm doing a front end swap on my bike and it would be good to know before I start. Otherwise I can just take it apart and measure it.

I'm in Portland. Just got the Voyager and going to be building a street fighter out of it.

Oops! Sorry, I gave you the XII manual. I didn't notice this is posted in the 1300 forum!

Gettin' old, huh, Ron?

FWIW, Nick, if you can't find the exact info on the stem and bearing sizes, and you would rather know in advance, there are a couple of stems/bearings available on eBay for under $20. A whole stem, bearings and triple tree are only $34. Just do a search for "kawasaki voyager 1300" and you will find thousands of 1300 parts, new and used.
