Motorcycle Headrace Bearing Kit
Slinky Glide headrace bearing kits come with tapered bearings which use rollers, instead of ball bearings. Tapered bearings are engineered to manage radial or downward pressure and thrust or side pressure, while ball bearings are designed for radial load only. Tapered bearings offer a really smooth movement compared to ball bearings.
Motorcycle steering head bearings are the link between the front wheel and the rest of the bike, so they are an important part of any motorcycle. Bearings are in constant use while the bike is moving and they make a big difference to the bike's handling, so require regular maintenance. When they need replacing, a Slinky Glide headrace bearing kit includes the components (some include dust seals) to do this easily.
