I'm doing a GSXR front end swap on my 96 600 bandit, from what i have read, the 92-95ish front ends are a clean swap. i went to swap the forks today and the 94 GSXR 750 headstem is 20mm too short...
the forks:

Showa 50mm forks
the head length on the bike:

the two tripples and stems, the Bandit is on the left and the gsxr is on the right

my first thought was just to swap stems until i looked at the bandit stem...

it's welded to the lower tripple...
i either need to find a longer GSXR stem or see if i can cut the bandit stem out...
my question is, does anyone know what the stem lenghts are of teh various years of GSXR's? if i can find one the right lenght, i'll just swap it into the GSXR tripple i have.
During the week, i'll see if i can get the bandit stem out...
the bike as it sits...
