Competitor Gap Analysis

Typical listings use only the internal wording “NR61 STEERING STEM ASSEMBLY.” This listing improves buyer clarity by adding Continental GT 535 prominently, explicitly excluding GT650, distinguishing the stem from the top yoke and steering bearings, and adding accident-repair / headstock terminology that real buyers and workshops use.
