 No Kawasaki to Honda conversion bearings? I'd have never guessed that. What a sh!tty situation they put you in, they really should accept your return since they should have a recording of your original call preceeding your order.

Maybe roll a sleeve from cold rolled steel?

Ya it is a crappy situation for sure. I have the other bearings ordered. Once they get here I will do final measurements and install races. Then I will have a machine shop make the sleeve, install it on the stem and go from there.

All balls have lots of conversion bearings for other Kawasaki's but not the one I am using apparently.

New bearings are ordered. Have the local all balls dealer I got on of the bearings off of checking to see if they can get me the dust sheild and spacer separately that way I can keep the kit intact and hopefully resell it.

I have an email into the company in the UK I got the second bearing from, which was the more expensive of the two to see if I can do a return.

I have been talking to a machinist about doing the pressed sleeve for me and he said it is no problem so that is a win. Just have to wait for the bearings to show up before I can go ahead with that part.

If neither of the companies don't accept returns I don't blame them. It was not their fault.  Lesson learned, trust but verify.
