steering bearing

[weekend rider]

I know many will say here we go again about bearing but no really.

That being said, The question is, for all those that have done the bearing up grade, how hard do you think it will be to get the top bearing out so you can grease the bottom

bearing as wel as the top ???

I am in the process of doing mine rite now.

Im considering drilling and tapping into the housing and put in two grease fittings one tio one bottom

The triple tree should drop right out the same as it did with the factory bearings. I know that I won't be greasing mine often enough to bother with grease fittings.

My 04 is nearly 5 years old with 146,000 miles and I have *never* greased the head bearings.

And everything is A-OK.

You want to drill 2 holes in a high stress area of the head stock? Very bad idea IMO!

This, from the guy who rides down the road with his bike on fire...

you are going to do a lot of work to "fix" a non-problem that only needs attention about every 50,000 miles.

SkootG's head bearings have only been running dry for about 46k miles now.
