Rebuilding the front end on my '73 750 GT. The tapered roller bearings and races are shot. I can't find part numbers or any search results for the Italian bearing number. Any help with finding equivalent parts greatly appreciated.

All balls may have a replacement, I would check with Steve at Bevel Heaven, I'm sure he a fix you up.

Thanks very much. I will check with Steve. Just got another reply with the All Balls tapered kit.

Thanks very much. Just what I was looking for.
Is there an easy way to remove and replace the steering stem lower bearing?

I used to do it by any means I could dream up but now I have a press and the right tools... Maybe take it to a shop so you dont damage anything, shouldnt cost you too much if you dont take it to a motorcycle shop.

Just finished this job on my 1995 900ss, similar tapered roller bearing. My steps were...
- Remove the cage and rollers with snips and something to pry with, a common screwdriver works. It’s not pretty but it works.

- Use a Dremel tool with a small cut off disc to cut a notch in the remaining inner race. Cut as deep as you can without damaging the steering head.

- Split the inner race with a screwdriver or chisel in the notch you just cut. Once split it can be removed by hand and used as a drift to safely install the fresh bearing.

Hope that helps
Cheers

I find the following site useful for part identification and Ducati numbers: Back to Classics. This site shows the following specs for the head bearings:

Be carefull ordering from back to classics though, they do not answer emails and if a part is on backorder they will take your money and leave you hangin...
I'm still waiting on a fender I ordered back in September and they will not answer my emails.

I had to send a front guard back to them. It was way off being correct and absolutely no chance of fitting. They did give me a refund. The postman was the winner The fairing and seat base took hours of shaping to get to fit. Cheers
