steering bearings
(1/1)
pae:
I see David Silver list genuine bearing sets @
JonnyB:
As soon as I buy a bike I check the head brearing and if needed replace it with a taper set, the steering does feel better, whether it's because I've fitted a taper set or just the fact it's a new bearing, I don't know.
SteveD CB500K0:
I second John.
The main difference is in durability, the taper roller bearings can take more knocks - even bumping up a kerb can put a dent in roller bearings, leading to notchy steering and MOT failure.

Thanks John and Steve. That backs up what I was thinking, so problem solved.
regards, Phil
