Default Re: Head bearing, dust seal

Good morning.


Suzuki headraces are a little rude in their pricing. Honda use the same bearing on most models, & they're somewhat cheaper.
If you were to go to a Honda dealer & order the bottom seal for say a CB500, or a VFR750 of 1990's vintage, you will find it's the same seal, & a little cheaper. It's around £6 methinks.

The top bearings on Hondas have a 1mm bigger bore, therefore one cannot use Honda bearings or the seals. However top seals rarely wear, & one doesn't muller them removing the bearing from the stem, unlike the lower bearing/seal.


Cheers.
