thanks to Joe aka green12, my lower bearing was pressed onto the steering stem. so i came home and used a man made press to put the racer's in the neck of the frame. - they are flushbut they are not fully seated - there is maybe 1/8" for the top and bottom to be seated all the way. anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this?

Racer bearings? Do you mean the steering head bearings? Wait, I just looked it up... steering head. Well, I've had some luck at Ace hdwr, make sure you look at metric and fractional both. Don't hold your breath, keep fingers crossed. More than likely, the oem part is some wierd-assed size. I'd offer hands-on help, but I'm knee deep in my race bike right now. Good luck...

Joe
