I have a newer CBR front end that has a 35mm stem and no one is making a bearing that is 35x48.5x15 upper and 35x50x14.25 lower to mate to the CX500, or any other older Honda. So my question is, wouldn't it be possible to just fab my own bearing cups for the stock CBR bearings to be used, 35x55x14 upper and lower? And just cut the old ones off the stem and weld the new ones on. Is this something that is done? I ask because the task of making new cups and welding them are not the issue, but I've never seen this done before and would be a hell of a lot cheaper than a new stem. Do you guys see any issues with this or have you seen this done before? Thanks.
