Installing tapered roller bearings on the XS650


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!
