[QUOTE="rPGoatBoy, post: 1455240, member: 27237"] I've decided to replace my OEM steering head ball bearings with the tapered rollers I'd bought (TIMKEN 32006X) to fix my decel wobble and I have been scouring these threads looking for information on what seals I can use, having read that I can't or at least shouldn't use the OEM seals because they're designed for the OEM ball bearings which are dimensionally different. I'd like to get the bearing stack-up right the first time and avoid some frustration. So far the best advice I'd found was to buy the All Balls kit just for the seals, OR to buy the upper OEM Yamaha seal and use it on the bottom, but I haven't read any confirmation that has worked. Has anyone found a decent source for tapered roller head bearing seals? [/QUOTE]
