I picked up a 12" x 1 1/4" pipe and cap from the plumbing section of my local hardware store for this job. Step #1, put the lower roller bearing on the steering stem. Next, place the lower bearing race that was removed on the stem. The 1 1/4" pipe lines up with the lower bearing race perfectly, so now just tap the bearing into place. If you haven't done this yet, do it!
Progress has been slow the past couple of months, I've been riding alot and just enjoying an amazing summer. My attention/focus is starting to return back to the '78 project though. I got this ribbed wassell style rear fender in the mail yesterday. It looks pretty amazing up next to the tank, bars and frame. I think it's a thing where taking it slow will pay off in the long run.
