    How big are your balls???

    1977 GS 550 steering head bearings. What is the diameter of the bearing balls?
    Local bearing shop has them for a few cents each, don't want to pay Suzuki a few bucks per ball, as there are 36 of them. I just need the diameter.
    Thanks!

          Have you done this on a 550?

            Did you have any of the old ones to measure or compare with? Or was this a bike that had the front end off already? Could always take the races to the bearing shop and see what fits.

              6.83mm.., Thanks!

              It never occurred to me that a Suzuki shop might actually have them in stock, or that a parts guy would know how to measure anything. You must have a great shop!

                Once again the part number contains the measurements.

                  Only if you know how to read them.

                  Perhaps you can be so kind as to explain this to us all.

                    Nope there is a way to decode the part numbers
                    I think Nessism knows the sequences.
