Re: 1965 R69s steering head tapered bearings
You DID remove the lower ball race from the base of the steering stem, didn't you? If not, then that is why it appears not to fit.
I sold, and personally installed LOTS of the tapered 31 42 1 000 000 tapered bearings for over 20 years and I never encountered any problems with them. The only time a customer complained to me about them, was that he did not realize that there was a ball race at the bottom of the steering stem, (that he failed to remove) and he installed the tapered bearing on the stem, above that race, and that WAS the problem.

Exactly where did you put it? Just curious.germancarguy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 3:31 pmAfter taking it all apart and reassembling it, I found the "Adjusting Washer" was in the wrong location. It all looks good now, thanks for all the feed back
