Nice progress and sorry to hear about Granny.
That a 07/08 upper/lower triple or 03/04? 07/08 is longer I believe is why I ask.

[StuntBikeJake]

Currently thats an 03 lower... Im needing an 03 top triple because there is not enough thread to put an 08 top triple on and bolt it down properly..

Im gonna go measure the 08 lower triple now... but the bearings are different in the necks.. 03 has needle bearings and the 08 has ball bearings...

Ill report back later tonight...

[StuntBikeJake]

Ok, just got done measuring the triples.. and from the bottom of the lower triple to the top of the post the 03 and the 08 are the same length....

The 08 top triple is about 1/2" thicker/taller than the 03-04 top triples.. so there in lies my problem.. I dont have enough threads to thread the top nut onto to feel safe.. lol

So now I need to get my hands on a top triple... and there are gonna be huge sacrifices made with my controls just to run FF...
