Steering head bearings was created by wizardmc
Does anyone have the bearing numbers for the tapered bearings for a 77 kz1000?
Want to convert from ball bearings to tapered. Have a friend that works at a
bearing supply but don't want to tear down the bike until I get the bearings.
Thanks

30x48mm 30x52mm Looks good in the industrial parts books.

But the outer races are paper thin, they are hollow ground down.
Believe me, I have tried for years to get standard bearings for this applications.

Search ebay, "AllsBalls" sells them. You got guys selling them from $27 to $37 dollars.
One guy has free shipping too.
Plan on spending $32 bucks to your door.

The All Balls kit is worth it IMO. You get both bearings, both races, and the seals for around $30. You would spend that much buying the individual bearings if you could even find the races. Believe me that I know my way around the Timken catalog and I couldn't not find races that fit.
