Tapered steering head bearings?

Anyone know where to find, or who makes a set of tapered bearings for a Hyper?

These from Speedymoto do not work, at least per my dealer:

Thanks!

Chris

I'm no mechanic, but I did check 3 different parts catalogs. The Hyper 1100S, 999R and 06 Sport Classic, all have the same part number for the steering head bearing 702.4.004.1A. What does that mean, I don't know.

yeah ... what's up with the speedymoto bearings?

speedymoto is run by folks who usually know their stuff, so i would be surprised if something they market does not work.

called speedymoto three times today, left a message first thing this morning.
No luck so far.
The bearings are listed on their website as not available, so the plot thickens.
But, their pictured kit has a seal included.
It would be irresponsible to go through the hassle of brg replacement and not install at least a dust guard.

Not ragging, I can appreciate how much effort is required to maintain every link.

"All Balls" has a set of Ducati tapered roller bearings. I installed them in my bike last winter with no drama. They are quite likely the identical bearings available from any other source. I remember paying less than $50.00.

Any shop with a Parts Unlimited catalog can order them for you.
