Title: Steering Head Bearing Sizes ?
Post by: bstard on October 15, 2007, 01:17:22 AM

Hi
Anyone know the Steering Head Bearing sizes for a 2004 GS1200SS.
Tried the search but came up with nothing.

The 1st gen 1200 and 2nd gen 1200 are all the same.  Not sure about the 1250.  ALLBALLS make a good kit for the bandit.

I would suggest checking this Kiwi site: www.kiwibiker.co.nz (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz) since that particular model Suzuki was sold down there.

I'd be surprised if the GS1200SS used different bearings than the B12, but I don't have anything at my disposal to confirm or refute that.
