It was strange for me to see so small pictures, although I validated all of them. I supposed you were doing some kind of document whit those small photos (I am not following all posts on the forum because I'm on holidays).

Can I delete the small pictures?

Caramba me habré metido en la pagina de vfringlisclub@.com     with-out acritud of that.
BYE BYE.

Yes you can Xan.
You should start getting the new ones now with some text, I will also view them and advise which text goes with the picture concerned.

Ok Xan lets try to make some sense of the pictures & instructions that I have posted (my fault)

Been very busy at the casa & this has dulled my memory when the evening arrives   :lol:

Hb jpg.........It will pay to cover-
Hb jpg 1.......Ok forks out & ready-
Hb jpg 3.......Top nut off & the yolk removed-
Hb jpeg 4......Ok the rascal (top nut) is off now-
Hb jpeg 2.......Use an elbow piece of rubber-
Hb jpeg 6......Here you can see the two outer races in situ-
Hb jpeg 7.......You can use a big-
Hb jpeg 9.......Once the old outer race is removed-
Hb jpeg 10......The steering stem with the inner race-
Hb jpeg 11......Please note!-
Hb jpeg 13......It is important to clean & repair-
Hb jpeg 14......Nice & clean bearing surface-
Hb jpeg 16......First apply a light coating of oil-
Hb jpeg 17......So its now sitting down on its seat-
Hb jpeg 18a.....Time for a good grease up-
Hb jpeg 5a.......This is a picture of the old bearings-
These are the pictures that you should now have at the correct size with the corresponding instructions that apply to each one.

Hope the pictures now make sense to you all ?
I will post some adjustment instructions for "this" type of bearing tomorrow, as these are Taper roller bearings (as you can see) and have "no" Torque Setting (unlike the Honda Ball Roller type)

Taper Roller bearings can be purchased from Moore International of Poole Dorset.......01202 462214 mail order  (UK company)
Part No lower 32006RS sealed type ! cost 11.50
Part No Upper 32005/26 cost 11.50
The sealed type allow you to do away with the Honda lower seal."

PLEASE NOTE!
Taper Roller bearings will slow the steering down a little & will take a little while to get used to, as they have a "much larger" contact area compared to Ball Roller bearings.

These bearings can be tricky (difficult) to adjust if you are doing this for the first time, so lets us cover that now.
First........there is no torque setting for this type of bearing, so you need to "Just" take out the "slack" from the bearing

If you look at my guide you will see that I get the "clip-ons" well out of the way (as best you can anyway)
This will remove the cables (near as dammit) from the equation and help you get a more accurate "feel".

The steering stem nuts need to be "locked together" and left so. = unit
You then tighten the "unit" to take up any further play in the future.

Moving this "unit" a small amount either way will make quite a difference (say from 20 to.....to......10 to (the hour), fit the Top Yolk back on & Torque up.
Check the "fall" now !, and in my experience it needs to be tight enough to need "JUST" a tiny touch to get the bars to fall - but will stop as soon as you take the "tiny" pressure off !
Be mindful that when you refit the clip-ons this will give a lot more leverage to the equation.

Difficult  to get right first time though & I would often take the bike for a ride, come back & adjust again.
