I'll check again in the morning
Though I did find the steering stem castle nut tool if you are still looking for that one.....

If you do end up ordering it if I remember correctly it is 22X1.5 mm

As for the lightened flywheel, after suspension it is the best mod you can do to this bike.....Mine has had one for around 14yrs now

interesting. do you remember what weight you took it down to? i finally sorted out the play in the steering stem, but if i ever need to get in there again ill know whos door to come knockin on.

and i think ill just end up going down to the auto parts store and picken up that drain plug since the flywheel should be here saturday. that way i can put it in on sunday. if no ones got it in stock ill have to order the tool

i know its a little risky but just ordred a 95 900rr swing arm, VTR swinger, and 900rr caliper bracket cuz i found some good dealsl. its the box style brace. i dont think ill have any issues since i havnt heard one case of anyone running into interference except with full high mount jardines in which case the mid pipes barley touched. do you know anyone who welds alum here in SoCal? id much rather have someone you know or at least a motorcycle enthusiast do it over just some guy in some shop.

That is the plan eventually!! I can only have so many projects going at once though. Or I should say my wallet can only have so many projects going at once. But I've always loved black frames. Although now that the black frames are standard on most bikes these days, I've become a little more attracted to the alum
