Title: Source for Steering Head Bearings?
Post by: wmax351 on October 23, 2011, 07:55:05 PM
Anyone know a source for the Steering Head bearings for a K75? Will it save me much money from just going to a dealer?


Also, should I bother replacing the Steering damper lube? I would likely use Dow-Corning High Vacuum (Stopcock) Grease from chemistry lab or ebay.

As I am in Oz I cant recommend a place to buy but I will recommend a brand not to buy.
On fleabay a guy is selling Pyramid parts bearings, be wary they are not very high quality stuff and also the seals he sells are just plain rubbish. I got caught and found out the hard way.

I figured that is the case with most chinese, cheese metal bearings.

SKF bearings is what you get when buying these ones from BMW......
just paying a whole lot extra for the logo on the box.
