Found it . Measurements for stock front bearing is 6203-2RS = 17 ID 40 OD 12 thickness
Now I just need to switch some numbers around for the right bearing.

Okay this confuses me and I need some input. Here is the link to the bearing I will most likely get. I ran the load capacities static and dynamic to pounds and the bearing should work.
It is sealed though?? My bearings that I removed were not sealed in the bearing but actually a separate seal. Do I buy this bearing and then just get the seals separate?

The RS means it's a sealed bearing. You can pop the seals out and use external seals, leave the seals in and use external seals, or leave the seals in and skip the external seals.

Okay here's an update . I emailed DNA about getting a bigger stem and I don't think it's going to work because the bottom lip on the stem is like 31mm and 30mm is the stock kz750 stem . Too close I think . Also the only bearing races that allballsracing carries that could work are slightly too much width.
The closest on top is a 48x13 which is 1mm more than stock and bottom is 52x16.5 which is .5 more than stock .
Here is what makes me curious and I can post a picture if you want . The bottom bearing race sits further into the fork shaft . The bearing on the springer is flush on the bottom tree there about . The springer tree is going to hit the fork shaft before the bearing seats the race .
Would trimming the bottom of the fork shaft outside closer to the race fix this or is there another solution?

Nevermind the bottom race. I'm sure it will fit okay lol I think I will probably just have to buy a stock kit and just toss the 30mm Id bearings since I have bearings to fit the springer.
