Have some spare time for neck bearing change today

Is not a Kawasaki but practice makes perfect skills..
Have to wait for parts for my bike and do some work on a friends DUCATI bike today.
The Italian stallion steering bearings are overdue service with a lot of rust and pitting on the races.
Took me 4 hours of work but the steering handling was impressive with the new bearings.

How well does it roll around with a bike on it? That looks like something to add to my wish list.
