Steering head race.

[Ixion]

Boy, remind me not to get on the wrong side of you when you're in a bad mood.

Just need to clean the burrs and gouges up.

Die grinder/Dremel is the dogs bollocks for that stuff, I can loan you one.

Do be careful and judicious with it but, cos it's real easy to grind metal off, a shit load harder to put it back.

When fitting the new races, chill them in the freezer overnight beforehand, and if you can, warm up the headstock (that'll mess up piant though, likely)

the 200t, does anyone know how it differs to the 200? I believe I've got a '74 model 200, but I don't see that they would have changed the steering head much, if at all, between the models?

May I ask why?
Wouldn't you just pull the bearings and take them to someone like Auckland Bearing Services and they will almost certainly (always have in the past) have replacements in stock. They also have an excellent range of seals.

Old eyes n all that but it looks to me like the bearing outer shell is still in there-Most of it. Id be getting someone to look at it and do the tack weld bit. It may be things aren't as bad as they look

Nice

Should be easy to get them out with a little bit of heat and a copper drift...

I hope when you onsell or trade this bike in you are going to be completely honest about this, excepting if its proffessionally repaired so that it is as new.....................

Thanks for sharing Magua! That's one more item I can put on the list of things I shouldn't touch and leave to professionals!
