Righto as in http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=31334 need to replace the steering head bearings in my bike, have the bearings now but cant afford the labour to get them put in, have the Haynes Manual and it looks easily doable if someone had the tools, which I dont!!

So anyone want to help me put these in can pay in beer! Should only take a couple of hours, and can put on my new disc whilst the forks are off.

Was hoping to do it tonight now so I can finish getting the WOF on Fri! But thats looking doubtful now! Might just have to risk the meat run sans WOF and fix it at home in the Naki!

Only tools I dont really have is a decent jack to hold the bike whilst the front is off and allen keys to replace the disc as I busted the ones I had putting the last disc on (dont get cheap tools they aint worth it!)

Big thanks to Dave and Zeb for the help today!

Got the new disc on easy enough and the bearings went in fine, though Dave is missing most of a finger :gob: sorry! A quick test ride showed that not all was right so back to the driveway and found that it wasn't quite done up due to some well I think it is safe to blame Zeb! After a bit of straining got the top thingy off again and fixed everything up and it is back together fine now!

Thanks again Dave.
