Steering Tapered Roller Bearings
allankelly1:
I fitted a All Balls set and they fit fine with plenty of thread
Also looking at the spacer it looks too thick
(The all balls set come with different thickness spacers)
Hopefully you can see that with mine the lower face of the lower yoke is flush with the top of the bearing cup and the top yoke has plenty of thread
Also they come with seals and the top bearing cover covers the top bearing ok

I had no trouble fitting with the All-Balls set on my 400/4, plenty of thread forthe top nut
allankelly1:
Yes
I think the All Ball kits used a more shallow taper roller hence no build height issue once fitted
Just they cost a bit more

Recently took apart the forks and head on my 73 CB500. I was surprised that it already had tapered bearings and just re-greased and re-assembled. I should have remembered as I put the bike together in 2003 and it must have had them before that as I didn't replace. Plenty of thread left at the top. I had already bought an All Balls set a little while back and will use them on another bike.
And they were less than this and cheaper than DS.

I've never hear of this All Balls Kit no one mentioned it when I was wrestling with my headset - are they still available and where from do you have the bearing heights by any chance or part numbers ?
