Tapered Steering Head Bearings
Just a heads up that allballsracingdotcom makes steering head bearings for our bikes .

If you local parts source can buy from Parts Unlimited the good deal on them might be about 25 bucks

part # 221020

They make front and rear replacement wheel bearings too for you hi-milers ............ I bought all 3 for my keeper cause I'll eventually need them .

Marietta Motorsports (Mar-Mo) http://www.1888fastlap.com also carries the high-quality tapered head bearings, which are both less expensive and of better quality than OEM head bearings are.

cheers,

I have not seen one but you knock them out with a punch and hammer .

Lube the OD and drive them in with either the old bearing race or a socket .

how can you tell if you need new bearings...is there a certain mileage you hit and the bearing need replacing?

Get the front wheel off the ground, and check side to side movement. If it is not nice and smooth bearings may be past their use-by date.

they make custom bearings so you can get them with the outer diameter for the superhawk and an inner diameter that fits the steering stem of another bike.
