For the machinists

[RIPPERTON]

Watch it, if the lower inner race surface isnt proud a bit the lower triple might rub on the frame as you turn the steering.
Id put a 2mm thick washer between the race and the triple.
I dont use Ti because its too heavy, too expensive and too strong.

Ill look on my OEM bike and just replicate the distance.

Here is a photo of the triple fitted to another bike, you can see the cup at the top is flush, then theres a black cover over the bearing and then a nut and a lock ring thingie.

Here is a photo of the schematic for the parts, I just dont want to pay 1400 Euro for the OEM Titanium column. Maybe ill go the 7075

The bearing is OEM (26x47x15) and just fits into the steering cup inside the frame

Ill see what I can suss out ebay wise for Ti, but good to know the local damage. Thanks Ripperton!!
