Steering head bearings

[AndyM]

Has anyone here replaced the steering head bearings? I need to replace them in my 03 Girly. I just received a set of tapered roller bearings from AllBalls, part number 22-1053, and am kind of surprised to get three bearings in the kit, a larger and smaller tapered roller bearings with races and a sealed ball bearing with a snap ring.
My guess is that it's a generic Triumph lit and that I'll use two of the three in the kit?

I'm quite a competent home motorcycle mechanic, but I never touch the steering bearings. I always leave them to a professional as the results of my mistakes could have fatal consequences.

But, if you know what you're doing - good luck to you.

Steamer only uses 1 taper bearing on the bottom , and I believe the Girly bikes are the same .
You may have a kit that replaces the top bearing with a taper bearing .
you will use 1 of the taper bearings and the roller bearing with the snap ring
