steering head bearings,

Am thinking of changing out the steering bearings on my 1980 kz1000 LTD B4 to roller bearings i got a hold of the bearings no problem, now, does anyone know if i need any seals for the job? i looked at a parts breakdown pic and didnt see any seals, but when reading the Clymer manual seals were mentioned.I dont want to get halfway through the job to find out it need seals. Thanks for your help. JT

Well, mine didn't have seals other than the plastic dust cap when I took it apart and I assume the front end had never been off before.

Did mine on my GPz550, along with the wheel bearings. All Balls Racing sent me all I needed, seals and all for less that $70.00 including shipping.

Or from Z1 Enterprises for a lot less

My All Balls kit had 2 seals included. Bottom one fit perfect. Top seal really didn't get used but my bike never had a top seal anyway.
