Can I use this steering stem?

(1/3) > >>

SeanFD:
I acquired a 750K1 to restore with an odd front end. I picked up a steering stem at a scrap yard. It looked OK, but on cleaning I discovered it was somewhat oddly shaped at the bottom.

I don't imagine this is "normal", but is it useable? Or can it be repaired?

Bryanj:
Only repair is a new stem welded in.
That where it has hit somthing hard, bent the forks and pushed the stem back.
Best use for that is holding the stem and beating the seller with the other end

SeanFD:
Thanks Bryan, that's what I thought :(

Bryanj:
If you cant get one where you are i will happily act as intermediary as long as you trust the postal service!!!

SeanFD:
Thanks Bryan.

I'm moving back to Europe – to S/SW France – as soon as the doors open again, which is why I've been examining the bits I have here. The bike, which is in a pretty sorry state:

will be wrapped up and shipped, to be given a new lease of life there.
