Mood: Awaiting the arrival of the sun and the disappearance of the rain
Hi Chris,
I've at the same stage as you in that I've just had my frame stripped and am underway getting it resprayed.
Re. the head bearings, I went for tapered roller bearing as an upgrade to the standard OEM ones. Reading some of the US forums they're supposed to be excellent.
I got mine from Speedy Moto in the states last week. The were ordered on the Monday and arrived from the states on Wednesday. Paid £18 duty to DHL on top of the cost price. ORder detail with part numbers is below.
Regards, Guy

Hi Guy, Just seen you're only up the road from me. Small world! They seem pretty expensive for head bearings. There must be a place in the UK to source some?

Pretty sure there is, as I replaced the caged ball bearing races in my S2R with Taper Rollers, I will see if I have the info anywhere.
