The butchery that goes on

[mnkyboy]

Decided to replace my steering head bearings, popped the top, fine (apart from who knows where the bearing came from. Looked underneath to pop the bottom out and OMG the bearing cup was broken and epoxy used to fill the gap- not only that the rollers themselves were again definitly not for a suzuki.

It goes to show that despite what a bike looks like you never know until you open it up.

In reality I like fixing shit - but it's an eye opener to see this level of butchery.

The bearings are quite soild
I dont think they could accidently succumb to a cold chisel
what was the steering like?

Steering very chatterry and made a lovely noise when suspension compressed...

Much better now though. Feels like a different bike. Shame the engine cant transform for a mere 45 bucks
