There the same apart from there is more meat below the steering lock on a non chrome ring. You can machine it off but its hassle as the front of the headset intrudes into the base of the bottom headset.

not sure if this helps. sticky talks about this in his book

It's rather easier to remove the chrome ring and replace the top bearing. If you care about having a steering lock, it just means welding a small piece of steel on the fork tube.
