Lasse, these are like hens teeth (very rare) Jampot spares do a ballbearing version, needs no adjustment, in 'cartridge'form that replaces the taper bearings. Relatively easy to fit, just follow the words and music (instructions).

I suspect Lassenc may be thinking about steering head bearings. The answer I think is no.

Sorry - egg on face!. I'm trying to get hold of a front frame section to experiment with this, the taper kit I fitted to my Honda looks promising, with some machining. With what I have got on lord knows when I will get round to it.
