My local machining shop did the NC35 stem removal and NC29 stem installation for £15.

Looks good. £30 for both yokes to be powder coated.

Looks lovely now.

Just to rebuild the forks and fit.

Will the standard NC29 head stock bearings fit?
When your Aprilia RS250 is more reliable then your girlfriend then you know it's time for her to go.

Wow, mine quoted over £100 for the same work. Yep, the bearings are identical. Wish I'd known about the ZXR400 stem swap when I did this.
