| Post subject: | Steering Stem ball bearings...? |
So I made an error tonight when I removed the triple clamp from the 1980 CR80...I did not realize the steering stem bearings were loose bearings and when I loosened the top nut and lifted the top clamp of the tree all the bearings fell out and rolled all over the floor of my shop....so my question is can I replace the loose bearings with a race style bearing? ANy suggestions would be great--IF NOT, anybody know the bearing ball size to replace the missing ones? Thanks--Doug |

i replaced my worn bearings with this set. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Honda-CR80-CR-80-1980-1983-Steering-Head-Bearings-Kit-/290474651749?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item43a1a37065 but you can also go with one of the balls to a bearing shop to get new ones. then i would replace all because they are not expensive. |

yes, you have to replace all the old bearing parts with the new ones. |
