No More Judder !!!!!

19500 miles. -
forks rebuilt, reworked , and massaged a couple times but damnit if there still isn't something wrong. Judder was the only thing i could think to describe it  JUDDER - a vibration between 2 surfaces causing a vibration in a single direction.   after some thought  I decide to pull the front apart and look to see the condition of the steering head bearings. Wholly molly  the front was a littly muddy but i have to wonder if any grease was ever added to these bearings ? both top and bottom were dry.




I was kinda disappointed with this. So Should I install new balls ? or Tapered rollers. After thinking back to earlier installs in previous bikes and the bennefits I decided on the tapered rollers


new bearings installed. Guess what ? No More judder steering smooth as butter !!!!  crazy 3 year old bike with just 20k miles needs new steering bearings...... say la V  on to next project.
