and I'm just getting around to fitting it on my '81 GPz550 frame. It has a good set of rollers attached, but I don't have the outer races to install into the frame (the 550's come with loose balls).
Does anybody have a decent set that they would be interested in parting with ?

82 55 is listed as 30x48x14 for top bearing,lower bearing is 30x52x17.
O.D of lower race looks pretty close but top race of the 550 looks to be a little bigger

Look right? lower is a 16 VS 16.5. I assuming that that uis the height ? If so .5mm smaller should be OK ?
I'll try local in the AM and see if they are reasonable and available...if not then Z1 or Ebay will work

Thanks, I'm going to call them tomorrow if I can't do something locallyUncertain whether this might be of any help, but here are links to a couple of Z1E's several listings for tapered steering head bearings.
