    I've been searching through pants: order, return losing money on 2nd shipping and restocking, repeat. Anyone know anywhere that actually stocks them any more to try on before throwing money down the shitter?

    "upgraded" from my 2007 to a 2018

    Steering Head Roller Bearing - Upgrade or Boondoogle?

    I found adding 25-30% to the FSM spec works fine.

    Steering Head Roller Bearing - Upgrade or Boondoogle?

    I can only relate my experience with my '07 as I did earlier in this thread: My '07 had the decel wobble from day 1 and zero miles.
