Stearing head bearing BSA M21, what are the options? (Edited by Author)

Aloha,

Some time since making myself heard here, but I've been reading and following discussions!

I am looking to replace the steering head bearings on my M21. What is a good buy? Are there any better options than getting the standard loose balls in a cup?

I would prefer getting a complete set in order to not have the bike dismantled for too long.

1947, girder forks.


Best regards,

Simon

What Mark has listed are the bearings I prefer..I can provide a detailed set of instructions for fitting them..They were originally made for Tele fork models but can be used without problems for girder fork types...Fit and forget...Ian

Oh! That looks great, exactly what I was hoping for!

Ian, I would of course love to get a detailed set of instructions.


Best regards,

Simon

I think there was a post on fitting these?
A washer may have been involved.

I've had these on my own WM20 for many years and I've just fitted a pair to a mate's bike. They are much better and as said "fit and forget" Ron

This is the post that mentions the washer I was thinking about Simon.

...the internet i watching!

I was not able to figure out the shipping cost? Ever since brexit shopping from the UK i a bit of a gamble where you never know quite what you end up with in costs in the end. :slightly_smiling_face:
(Also payday in Sweden i 25th, they might be in basket for a day or two)

Best regards,

Sorry Simon I can't see what you see on the website.
Postage in the uk is easier.
Oversees can be a pain as the prices change all the time.
It's nothing to do with politics, just greed. It's always been this way.
Again read our website, you will have been informed that we are not thieves, no money is taken until the day of dispatch.
There is a notes section in which you can ask as to the shipping costs.
Or you can email us and ask the cost of shipping for what you have in the basket.
If you have any ideas on how we can make this easier, please let me know.

Aloha,

This turned out pretty nice! Some wear in the steering head but with Loctite 638 I think it will be ok. Thanx everyone for good advice!

Best regards,

Simon
