Hi, I know there are various posts scattered across the net in regards to this but I am looking for some mechanical advice and conformation.
I have a vfr 800fi 5th gen 2000, I bought an sp front end which was previously fitted to another vfr5th gen 1998, so I though it would be plug and play but I've run into an issue with the steering stem bearings being a different type and I just wanted to get some advice before I buy anything else. You can see in the pictures that my vfr has this wedge type bearing where as the vfr the sp1 / 2 (not sure exactly) parts came from must have been fitted with a different bearing/race type. So I'm just wondering what bearing / races I actually need to buy and fit this properly and I read somewhere that I need a thin washer below the bearing when it's pressed on and above the bottom bearing race when it's pressed in is this correct? Also not sure what tools I need to get the races and the new bearing pressed on to the steering stem.
Just a little clarification on parts and tools I need to get this right would be great, thanks!
