I need to replace my steering bearings before I put my forks back on my frame. I figured out today when I was about to assemble the front back together that the bearings are not good.

Can anyone give me some bearing numbers I can take to a bearing house for them to look up ? I got numbers off the bearings I had.. but all I found was "30K" and on the bottom bearing "30KW". That was all..

Any help - Thanks !

When I read " the tapered ones have seals" I took that to mean they were sealed bearings, and I have not seen any sealed tapered bearings. Guess I just misunderstood (again) But I still don't remember any seals coming with the tapered bearings I have installed on the 750 twins. But maybe that's only the 750 twins. KD9JUR
