triple clamp stem's diameter

Can anyone tell me the diameter of the stem that connects the upper and lower triple clamps together? The one that goes through the frame too! Thanks!

Bottom bearing is 30/55/17
Top bearing is 25/52/15.

i.e. stem diameter is 30mm at the bottom, 25mm at the top
Steering head is 55mm at the bottom, 52mm at the head

What are you trying to fit?

Seeing if the whole front end of a 675 can fit into the hole on the frame for the 955s. I just read that the stem diameter on a 675 is 50mm, so i was wondering if it could easily be switched over so I don't need a custom triple clamp.

Nah - top & bottom bearings are 30/55/17 on the 675 - same as most Suzukis too, as well as the 1050 S3.
There is a special bearing available that will fit the 675 stem and top of your frame - bottom is same size already.
That part is easy enough.
You can't use either of your own triple clamps so you need to hope the 675 will work with your steering head - might be possible but you don't know till you try.
It's the ignition that causes interference typically.

But recognize you have other things to think about.
Can you use your own wheel?
Probably not - has 25mm axle but the 675 has 20mm axle
- diameter of 675 rotors is smaller at 310mm;
spacing between rotors may be different so you would need to check on what the 675 spacing is;
then you have to accommodate new axle spacers and moreso speedo drive- which is not trivial
on the 675 wheel you have no speedo drive capability.
Converting to electronic drive speedo gives you more options.
Steering stop is another potential problem

It is going to be expensive - if you can even find a complete set of 675 forks
You would need
Forks
Triples (top & bottom)
Axle
Wheel with Rotors
Calipers
Clip-ons
Fender
Steering head bearings
Then you still need to work out speedo and steering stop
