Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Soz m8 don't know got a local engineering firm to do it,from what i can remember the fzr stem was a fraction undersize to fit the R1 bottom yoke so they turned it down a bit & sleeved it for a snug (tight fit).Hope that helps,let me know if need anymore info.
