How To Replace Steering Head Bearings on a Honda CB750 Motorcycle | Roller Bearing Upgrade | Part 22

[@rob_e_g8723]

Great video, I'm bringing a cb550 back to life at the moment so any videos like this will be very helpful. Thanks

[@SPANNERRASH]

Thanks Rob! I hope some of my vids will prove useful, hope your CB550 project is good to you!

On my Honda Shadow I had to use the spacer disc over the outer race on the lower bearing. If not the plate would hit the frame

[@SPANNERRASH]

I suspect the bearing kit is for a lot of different bikes, with different requirements for spacers.

[@HandSolitude]

Is it possible that thick washer was to give the correct spacing between the seal and the taper cage?

[@SPANNERRASH]

I'm sure it is to be used as a spacer, but I suspect that same kit fits a lot of different bikes, and that part just isn't needed for my one. I am sure it wasn't going to work with it.

Well done!!

Cheers mate!

For so many motorbike jobs, removing and replacing all the bits to get to what you want to repair takes longer than the actual repair. As my Yorkshire wife would say, job's a good'un.

[@SPANNERRASH]

Too right, they're tightly packaged machines. It's a labour of love though. Although modern bikes are much harder to work on than this!

Brilliant video as usual, will keep watching. As you suggested I changed out rotor stator and regulator on my cb750 1981. Wondering if you have heard of anyone removing the pressed in idle jets on the keihin VB carbs. Kind regards

[@SPANNERRASH]

Cheers, glad the vids are coming in helpful for you! :) You can definitely replace those idle jets because you can buy new ones. Although I can't say I've replaced them myself. I'd have thought drilling them, tapping them, then threading something in to help with pulling them out would be a good way.

@@SPANNERRASH thanks for the advice will give it a try need to get the right tap and drill will let you know how I go on. Thanks again
