- How To Replace Steering Head Bearings on a Honda CB750 Motorcycle | Roller Bearing Upgrade | Part 22
In this Honda CB750k episode, I fit new steering head bearings to my CB750 project bike. I am building this bike to be a road-going rider of a bike, it's not a full restoration.
Here's what I used in the video:
Quality Honda CB750K Head Bearing Kit: ebay.us/jROEJ5
Bearing Punch Driver Set: ebay.us/tOLtDr
I have previously tried to adjust the front head bearings on my CB750 project bike. But I still wasn’t very happy with them. I found out it was with good cause when I stripped them down.
I have replaced these bearings before so the job wasn't too daunting. I was very surprised to find that there were no ball bearings at all in the top bearing and only 5 or 6 in the bottom. I was amazed that they didn’t feel a lot worse than they did when I tried to adjust them. Don’t laugh!
I completed the job doing the least dismantling that I could. Tying the handlebars and headlight to one side. The job went well, but I did have to clean some scuffing before fitting the bottom inner race with a small grinding wheel on a Dremel.
I will need to let them settle by riding the bike a little before finally adjusting them. It’s amazing how they loosen up over the first few miles.

On my Honda Shadow I had to use the spacer disc over the outer race on the lower bearing. If not the plate would hit the frame
Great video, I'm bringing a cb550 back to life at the moment so any videos like this will be very helpful. Thanks
Well done!!
For so many motorbike jobs, removing and replacing all the bits to get to what you want to repair takes longer than the actual repair. As my Yorkshire wife would say, job's a good'un.
Brilliant video as usual, will keep watching. As you suggested I changed out rotor stator and regulator on my cb750 1981. Wondering if you have heard of anyone removing the pressed in idle jets on the keihin VB carbs. Kind regards
Is it possible that thick washer was to give the correct spacing between the seal and the taper cage?
