I dont understand how you can say the bottom yoke is lower. it has the stem pressed into it, it goes all the way up into the frame and is tightened at the top, i dont see how the lower yoke could be moved up or down. am i missing something here?

yes you are.
the steering stem doesn't go all the way through the bottom yoke, it actually protrudes 10mm, and has to be pinned/held in place as it isn't an interferance fit like the original fazer stem.
the bearings are narrow profile races and have to be lined up with a degree of care.
still wondering if the old headraces were taper roller as the races are different.
