Mine is riding just fine. it stays in the garage and I make a habit to stay out of the rain. you should be fine. Like agemax said, you usually don't get them from a bearing shop. I'm not sure where you could buy the seal seperate. maybe allballsracing.com

that will not do anything except fill the tube up with grease.Originally posted by derwood View Post
the grease needs to be applied directly to the bearing1978 GS1085.

So I did some searching. Suzuki does not list a seal for the 1000 or any bike in that generation with tapered bearings. So I looked at newer bikes in the Suzuki line up for a similar sized bearing.
I found that the newer GSXR bikes have the same size bearing, I used one from a 2007 1000. The p/n is 51644-12c00 and it is a perfect fit.

I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.Comment

once the tube is full of grease the grease gets forced out through the bearings, works best if you loosen off the bearings and lift the front of the bike by the frame so the head set is free.Originally posted by Agemax View Post
displaces any moisture and the grease acts as a seal
Just like greasing king pins
works like a bearing packer.
