    anyoe use Dennis Kirk tapered steering stem bearings?

    i finally took a look at them and ofcourse no instructions how to install them, obviously the races get pressed into the steering stem, but how about the 2 washers with the rubber on them? and how about the solid metal washer? anyone used these yet.

    I would say the rubberized washers are seals 1 on top 1 on the bottom rubber side out. The solid washer probably goes under the nut on the steering stem.

    1979 ATC110 (Bandito frame and forks, Turbo wheels, disc braked)
    1982 ATC70 (Lifan manual 125)
    1987 LT80 (piped, widened)

    Yep. I have those in my 350X... Assemble them as dcreel describes and pack them with bearing grease before you assemble!
