Steering Stem

[carl]

Hi,
I am sure this question has been raped over and over. But could you please tell me if a standard Yamaha Banshee steering stem will bolt straight on with no modification.

it will not. the bottom mount has to be turned down on a lathe. Its very little work, a local metal shop will be able to do it easily in little time.

After i turned it down. banshee on left, blaster on right

If I were you and wanted a longer steering stem I would take it in to a machine shop and get them to extend it and weld it up

Thanks for that mate helped alot, I have been to my local mechanics but they dont have a lathe and the next one i know of is around 40 miles away.

Any one have one all ready done they want to sell

Good idea Would this not make it weaker which might cause it to break?
