  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Getting ready to replace the steering stem bearings and really haven't bought to much from the dealer other then a few small replacement parts.​
​
Any advantages of going stock on the "steering stem bearings kit" from the dealer over "all Balls brand" I've used All Ball on other bikes and found the seals and bearing of very good stuff.​
​
Cheers​

Allballs is good stuff but chinese bearings for most of the kits I have seen. The good German or Japanese bearings are more for single bearing than the whole AllBalls kit with seals and everything. I'm sure the expensive bearings are better but the AllBalls kits are more than acceptable too. If you have the money and care a lot about it and are keeping your bike for a long time you might want to go with the spendy stuff. If so I would be pulling it apart and cleaning it and taking care of them regularly to make them last.
 
Cheers, that's the answer I was looking for.

I searched on the process of removing them. If I understand correctly to remove the lower bearing from the triple clamp I will need to press out the stem and this will pop off the bearing. I'm pressing the the stem down thru the tripping clamp if I have it correcty

thanks for the help

Correct, thats the easiest way to do it.
 
Ok, I'll wait till I get the replacement bearing. I considered the other method where you pull the rollers out and tape it off but the triple tree doesn't really leave you much clearance to work.

When pressing it back on do I need to take note of how deep the neck sits in the tripping clamp,or is there a shoulder. I notices the neck isn't flush with the bottom of the tripping clamp currently.

thanks again for the help.
