From the way I've read it, it gives the ipression that you are leaving the old races in place and just renewing the balls?

Having priced up the parts from DS I'm looking again at your suggestion to fit taper rollers they do seem a cheaper & better option. I've found these on e-bay after a search. What's the catch probably do not fit!! The lower race has a larger OD than the upper one.

And a spacer https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CB-400-F-Four-75-79-Headstock-Steering-Taper-Bearing-Spacer-OE-324005/184349619747?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Clearly I need to get my calipers on the old races.

I've found what sounds like a supplier that will sell me a pair of bearigs with a spacer to suit. Currently out of stock in the cheaper option for my particular model of Honda but the dearer option is £30.00.

As & when the bits arrive I will update with details of my fittment experience.

I have seen these advertised may be a solution

These are not listed for for the 400/four they are not advertised as taper rollers.
