Special thanks

I still have a rigid fork in perfect condition, do you think it is possible to try to replace only the stem on a rigid fork and if so, where can I find the right stem?

I doubt you can buy just a stem
You could have one made by a machine shop
What is wrong with yours?
Is it still in the rear fork ?

I had an accident last year and the stem broke in two pieces the tail remained in the rear fork
The rear fork was slightly bent now i fixed it.
I am looking for a stem with the exact measurements to install it

p/n for complete F.E. is 46008-88A
Not what you want to hear but:your choices are:
Spend long money on a hard to find O.E. part
Spend short money on a repop and decrease the value of a somewhat rare bike. IF you already have a "salvage" title, you already taken a hit on value
Find a very skilled fab shop
