Last year when I first got my bike, I had to take apart the steering head to weld on a new stop. In the process of cleaning up the ball bearings I lost 2 of them (don't put them in a magnetic dish, swirl them around in solvent, and expect them to stay put). I did not realize I even lost them because I lost 2, and just divided the remaining between the upper and lower. Well, after I put it together, I found one of the missing balls stuck UNDER the magnetic dish! Could not find the other.

I finally put in those two missing steering head ball bearings. I had to buy one from the Dr. Took a year to get motivated, but with the downpours in the northwest, it is a good time to get it done.

I also resealed the sub tranny and shifter shaft, and changed oil of course. READY TO RIDE!!!!
