Topic: All Balls head bearing question 78K

[mixstup]

Hi shipmates! I recently got the all balls tapered head bearing set,got my freshly powdercoated frame back today,can anyone save me the bother of rooting through the garbage to measure the stack height of my fossilised races and tell me which washer to install on my 78K frame! ta
Cheers,
Mick

you may want to just run a search of tapered roller threads and see what others have reported doing, personally I used the smaller washer under the lower bearing and all was well on my 73 750.

Not all steering stems are the same even for the same model, I guess wear and tear over the decades has something to do with it, save the grief and do your own measurement.

Thanks guys, after a delve into the abyss ,I recovered my balls! and found that indeed I needed the thinner washer to match the original stack height,
