I'm working on converting my 00 N to a track-only S, actually all I'm doing is changing the handlebars to clip-ons.
When I went to install the S upper clamp, I discovered the boss around the steer tube is about 3/16" thicker than on the N upper clamp. This prevents the fork tubes from coming all the way through the upper clamp, and I can't get more than 2 threads on the steer tube nut.
My first inclination was to simply mill the boss on the upper clamp 3/16", but I'm wondering if it would be smarter to simply lower the fork in the lower clamp until both sides extend through the upper clamp.
I can't seem to find much on conversions going this way, in all my searching I only see S to N conversions.
The boss in question is circled in red in the picture. (this is the S upper clamp)
