    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1977 GS 550 steering head bearings. What is the diameter of the bearing balls?
Local bearing shop has them for a few cents each, don't want to pay Suzuki a few bucks per ball, as there are 36 of them. I just need the diameter.
Thanks!
 
If you want to do it right Get an All Balls tapered bearing set !!!
 
Did you have any of the old ones to measure or compare with? Or was this a bike that had the front end off already? Could always take the races to the bearing shop and see what fits.

Hey lazy bones, I just looked up the part number (06111-08003) and called Deland Suzuki, They had a few in stock, and he mic'd it up at 6.83 mm.

6.83mm.., Thanks!

It never occurred to me that a Suzuki shop might actually have them in stock, or that a parts guy would know how to measure anything. You must have a great shop!
 
Only if you know how to read them.

Perhaps you can be so kind as to explain this to us all.
 
Nope there is a way to decode the part numbers
I think Nessism knows the sequences.
