I'm not done yet. Tires are on the list. I can assure you I don't ride the bike with tires looking like that although someone who had the bike before me did! I think the tires are OE.

Quick question for you guys. Has anyone switched over to tapered head stem bearings? Does someone make a kit?

We must have replied at the same time! I'll definitly be ordering a set before I start final assembly.

it is, relatively, an easy mod too.
I did mine about 20 years ago and have never looked back.

Yep just a matter of knocking the old races out and pressing the new ones in. After taking the swingarm off it looks like I'll be replacing the bearings there too. Lots of rust and doesn't appear to have been greased in a long time. Anyone have a technique For pulling out the swingarm bearings? Worst case scenario I'll just run them down the street to the Kawi shop and have them pull them for me.
