where does a man buy offset steering head bearings in Australia?

[JonW]

Not for me... honest... LOL... seriously tho, a mate needs some... any ideas?

[-Mark-]

Same place as a woman does?

take the origionals out - head down to statewide bearings (kewdale rd in kewdale) and get them to find you a suitable replacement set - probably about 1/4 of the price from the dealers too

Kewdale may be a bit to far away for him.

This thread made me grin like a demon... cheers guys....

Yep, Sydney would be good else mail order would be fine, ta

Haha - didn't see that did I?

Look up a local bearing supplier - give them a ring. See what they can do, will still be significantly less that any dealer.

Just go to ANY bearing place in Sydney, I get all my bearings for my bikes there, heaps cheaper too. I learned this then I was 16 & building up my z50 an arm & leg for "original" bearings with "nsk" stamps on the bearings but a very nice looking Honda box!!
Measure the bearing, give them a call or go in..

Machine eccentic cups and fit bearings to the cups

[JonW]

Thanks guys, I'll let him know.

Eeknows, yep that would be the best way in my view too.

just curious Jon... what does he need them for and how far off set ?? is it to adjust rake ??

[EEKNOWS]

The reality is that there is only 2 positions they can be used in to alter the rake, both bores in the 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock position just adjusts trail, bores 180 deg out adjusts rake.The idea isn't used much these days.

To be honest Aaron i didnt ask... I didnt really want to know LOL
