Hello everyone!
A friend of mine told me this is the place to have those in the know help out with builds so here I am humbly asking for advice
.
I am putting together a Virgao 750 cafe and have just purchased myself a set of R1 forks for her from a seller who gave up on his 750 project. Looking at the stem on the R1 triple tree, it has definitely been swapped out for a virago stem - so it should be an easy swap. My only wonder is how has this been done? Can the R1 stem be hammered out and replaced with the virago one PROPERLY? I would hate to finish the project only to have the forks fall away at speed and nose dive concrete.
Thanks in advance and I am looking forward to being a part of the forum!
