I am going to go ahead and replace the steering head bearings in my '07 1300. It has just over 5k miles and really don't need to be replaced. However, I replaced the stock steering head ball bearings with the All Balls Racing tapered bearings in my VTX1300 and it greatly improved the handling of the bike. So, of course I was interested to install them in the new to me ST upon realizing the ST has the ball bearings. My thinking is that it couldn't hurt. Well, I have done some research with mixed findings on the bearings to use, All Balls vs CBR, and the torque on the steering stem adjustment nut. What I'm hoping to hear is the difference between the All Balls bearings vs the CBR bearings, the torque specs for tapered bearings, and where the torque spec came from. The reason I ask about the torque specs and where it came from is because the VTX1800 comes with tapered bearings stock and the Honda-recommended torque spec is 30 ftlbs on the steering stem adjustment nut.
