GSXR yoke fitting problem. - SV650.org

Fitting GSXR Forks (K3)...
In process of getting the central stem in place before getting all the other bits sorted...
Think it all in properly, in place, etc... then this:
(The top cover won't fit over where it should as the adjuster nuts are too high)

It can't be the bottom not in place as the bottom yoke is where it should be...
The top bearings feel like they're in place - so I'm a bit stumped?

Is there any way where the bearings 'feel' like they're in place, but actually not?? Or is there another trick I'm missing?

Put it underneath the adjuster nuts.

I'd already ordered it myself and left

lol!

Although the good news is I've finally got the forks on and sorted!
Only bits now are to order a speedo unit for it and get that wired in, and then find a way of shifting the stubborn bolt that holds the footpeg onto the hanger!
