replacement steering stem bearings info

[Jeff Saline]

Glenn, I had to go to the shop to do a quick threading project for a friend. So I picked up the old stock bearing races and here is the info on them. Lower bearing: HR 320/28XJ Japan A NSK Upper bearing: 32005JR Japan KOYO HI-CAP This is the info from the new All Balls bearings. Lower bearing: LT-320/28XJHL D0606-1648-14 Korea KBC Upper bearing: 32005XJ D0705-1004-04 Korea KBC And if you only need the lower bearing you can also get them at NAPA as NAPA part number BR32. Last one I got was last year for about $16 and we had to wait overnight for it. NAPA Lower bearing: HR 320/28XJ NDK Japan A (NAPA Part BR32) Before folks get bent out of shape because the All Balls bearings are made in Korea... take a look at the application and recognize they'll have as good a chance of working as any. I probably wouldn't install them in an engine or transmission with high speed and critical clearance requirements but I think they'll be fine for the steering and suspension. Heck the stock NSK lower bearing was the one that went bad and only lasted 27,000+ smiles on my bike. : ) Hope you find this helpful.
