Hi ramarvarna,
great job on the YZ fork conversion. They are becoming a popular and affordable alternative to the WP conversion.

I�m about to do a YZ conversion myself, I have all the parts sitting there ready to start.

How easy was it to make the YZ triple clamps fit the tenere steering head? I think I have read that a spacer is required as the new steering stem is slightly longer. Is the spacer just a flat washer type or is it something fancy that will need to be machined up?
Can you share any more details on the conversion, any problems along the way, or was it straightforward n simple?

Cheers mate,
Tim

Hi Tim,
you don't need any spacer, just press out your(xt660z)steering stem and press it in to YZ triple clamp, just swap it. You might need a washer on the top clamp, is depend of the model you will use.
Important - you need a big press(the one for wheel bearing will work) and the stem go out easy.
