Most of us have used All Balls available just about everywhere (in the US)

Nah, just had to learn *far* more than I ever wanted to about steering stem bearing dimensions when installing the GSXR front end on my GS. The bottom bearing was easy to find but the top was pretty much unobtanium.

I'm pretty sure that the numbers are 32005 and 32006.

The All Balls kit includes new seals, which you don't get with generic bearings.

It's only about $30 for the All Balls kit.
