Steering bearings

I have a 78 GS 750 and I am looking for new steering head bearings.

I saw some that require machine work and thats above my paygrade.

So does anyone know where a guy can get some steering bearings that are a direct fit.
 
Any bearing supply place will have them. The loose ball type bearings are really cheap. Are the races still good or do you need those too?
 
The races look ok the bottom ball bearings went rouge when I pulled them apart all over the shop. But when I was pulling the forks I noticed they felt really gritty.

Was kinda looking for a conversion to caged bearings that didnt involve machining
 
Some of the 750 steams need a modification to fit roller bearings.
Go to the All Balls Bearings site for info on modification
 
you can get the ball bearings at a bicycle shop for about a nickel each.
 
I just ordered a set from cycle recycle II their sealed TSB-1005 bearings , so we'll see.

Thanx for the replies
