Upgrading your steering stem bearings

Hey all,

I was over on the kz650.info site, and found a really nice link to a chart that tells you what needle taper bearings will fit the steering stem on the KZ's.

Upload the link below, and scroll down to the second last post- it's got a little link to an Adobe file that has needle bearing codes and what stems they will fit.

forums.kz650.info/index.php?topic=7161.0

Hope this saves everyone alot of time digging around looking for bearing codes/getting custom bearings made.
