The steering setup on the pole (turnplate) is different and not interchangeable.
Are you trying to put the square stock stuff (turnplate, bars, etc) on the roundnose pole?

Get UMI Steering with an xmetal plate, and that will fit on either a square pole(with the addition of driling 4 holes) or a roundnose pole.

whats different about it?

ive got the stock squarenose turnplate bolted to a round nose pole in my garage?

there is no chinpad on it , and the steering isnt hooked up, but it seems to fit?

steering plate cable thing what?

I dont think so?

Ill take a picture tonight if I have time, I thought they were interchangeable?

I guess I should mount a chinpad and make sure huh?

I'm talking about a small plate, with bolt, that hold the steering cable to the pole.

The cables & turn plate will work on both, but a squarenose cable has a little less throw at the nozzel.
As Matt was saying, you might have to make a little piece to 'lock' the cable on the roundnose pole so it will not shift when you turn the bars. Just shape a small piece of alum to hold the cable. You will see what we are talking about when you get to that point.
