How To Replace Steering Head Bearings on a Honda CB750 Motorcycle | Roller Bearing Upgrade | Part 22
In this Honda CB750k episode, I fit new steering head bearings to my CB750 project bike. I am building this bike to be a road-going rider of a bike, it's not a full restoration.
Here's what I used in the video:

I have previously tried to adjust the front head bearings on my CB750 project bike. But I still wasn’t very happy with them. I found out it was with good cause when I stripped them down.
I have replaced these bearings before so the job wasn't too daunting. I was very surprised to find that there were no ball bearings at all in the top bearing and only 5 or 6 in the bottom. I was amazed that they didn’t feel a lot worse than they did when I tried to adjust them. Don’t laugh!
I completed the job doing the least dismantling that I could. Tying the handlebars and headlight to one side. The job went well, but I did have to clean some scuffing before fitting the bottom inner race with a small grinding wheel on a Dremel.
I will need to let them settle by riding the bike a little before finally adjusting them. It’s amazing how they loosen up over the first few miles.
