Failed my wof, trying to be legit

[jade]

Just failed my wof, headstock bearings and my low beam is too dim
(I ride with full beam 100% of the time)
If I get the bearing numbers will I be able to get bearings from somewhere local ??
I have a trip planned to kaitaia this weekend
a trip planned to gisborne next weekend
and a trip to taupo the weekend after that
I want to be all legit, I reckon I can sort the light (something I paid a mechanic to do then had to redo myself anyway) and I can fit the bearings myself, I think - last time was a circus having the bike suspended from the deck for a week

AUCKLAND BEARING DISTRIBUTORS - Try these guys (they are on the Shore) but you will definitely need the numbers,

one real good way to really piss off car drivers and enhance anti bike sentiment

You are bearing in mind (geddit ? geddit ? 'Bearing' in mind ? eh ? eh ? ) that headstock bearings are normally adjustable ?

[Coldrider]

If the headstock bearing is loose, repack with grease and tighten.
if it has a notch or excessive play,needs to be replaced.

You can get bearing & seal kits from bike shops,"All Balls racing" is such brand I have purchased from local MC shop.
