The easiest, cheapest and best thing to do with the stem is to press the stock stem out of the Cb bottom yoke and put it in the R1 yoke. It'll bolt on just like stock.

Now, chances are the CB stem is going to be mush smaller in diameter since it's steel and the R1 is most likely going to be aluminum. What I have done in the past is build up the CB stem with weld and then turn it down to fit the yoke I want to use. Much easier than building a new stem from scratch. And you don't need to buy bearings unless yours are worn out since you'll be using all stock stuff at this point. If you run in to a snag and can find help local, give me a shout. I've done a bunch of these for guys on another forum.
