    I know I have seen it somewhere, but, I can't find it. I need loose bearings for the triple clamp steering for a stock 250 Mag. What size, how many for top and bottom and Thanks. Jeff

    It will be 3/16 or 4mm balls and count the balls you have. Check the races for damage. I have a removed set if you need it

    Thanks. Races are fine. Cages are shot. Going with loose balls. Hmmmm, loose balls just doesn't sound right.

    Without the cages you'll need good grease and fine needle-nose pliers to get them set in those small races...and a steady hand to feed the lower clamp/stem up through the steering head so they don't end up on the floor!
    I also check the play before every ride/race...without the cage you don't want them getting loose.
