Regarding the seals for the steering bearings, is there a supplier other then All-Balls? Seems silly to buy their bearing package just for the seals, heh.
I agree. Maybe Yamaha? It's been so long since I did this.. but IIRC the AB kit was cheap.
 
It's not as if these bearings are spinning to generate any heat or wear, and way more bearing area than balls, so... why not go with the All Balls kit.

 
Freaking PhotoBucket.. 

Just to keep PB pissed off, I'm leaving my pics there to increase their stupid linked picture bandwith costs..
