    Steering bearing??

    Have a 80 gs1100E and needs steering bearings, Can I get these bearing at local bearing shop ...I bought other bearings there in the past.

    Anyone know size or any info so I can buy bearings prior to taking everything apart??

      Don't know what size is but they SHOULD be a standard taper roller which you'll get from any bearing factor off the shelf.

          Look in your other thread with the same question.

                  I'm taking this apart right now, can I leave fork tubes attached to front fender and lower them out of trees?

                      Why would you want to??? But to answer, no. You will likely bend up the fender.

                          I was planning on going to local bearing shop and getting new bearings tomorrow, but I think I will destroy them so much that they won't be able to match them with new one?? the lower race is not to bad but I would like to replace it!! I might order some and wait until I get them !!

                              all they need is the number on the old bearing, to match up for a new set for you

                                  I can't make the number out, the bottom race has same number as top?? but the inner bearing that had rollers and cage has a number I can't make out, need micro scope did a search and came up with these............ Upper: 25 x 47 x 15
                                  Lower: 30 x 55 x 17
                                  hope them are good numbers???

                                      I am pretty certain that you can find the bearing dimensions here: http://www.boulevardsuzuki.com/fiche...1980&fveh=2155

                                          Call Z1 and they will have your bearings. They are great quality and I have a set on mine with 40,000 miles on them already and no problem.
