Prototype Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hi guys I am struggling for past few weeks . I am not able find suitable bearing for BSA C15 headstock with Ossa Mar forks/yoke. either the bearing is smaller or bigger. if someone can provide brand/number they have used. and workaround that will be very helpful.

totalshell Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 you ll have to make up a top hat spacer from brass or something similar.. ufortunately no one at bsa imagined that anyone would want to replace their excellent forks with something from a spanish motorcycle 50 years later.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony27 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Find a bearing that fits the frame & is too big for the stem is easiest then sleeve the stem where the bearing fits to suit. That's what I did for my pre75 CZ mxer as stem is 25mm & best sized bearing to replace the loose balls was 26mm, not a hard job if you have the gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
