Decided to swap out the steering stem bearings in my '83 kz440 ltd. Went with All Balls roller bearings. Now the steering stops won't engage.

The races are in, but I do need to seat them better, as I can feel a gap of at least 1 mm in the lower race seat, I'll be going to get either a bearing cup press or a nylon bearing driver set today. Not a great situation because the races have almost no lip inside, so getting them out again to go back to OEM would present a major challenge.
Main problem is that the lower bearing is sitting too high on the steering stem. I've included pics, as you can see the bearing sits flush with the bottom of the actual stem, but that still leaves it a good 3 mm above the groove in the lower triple clamp where the original bearings sat. I don't see how these could be expected to be driven down onto the actual clamp without damaging the bearings.
