Cheers FBJ, looking at the lower bearing, do i need a special tool to get this on ? or does it need a bearing press do do it ?

Cheers

I use pyramid bearings from Scotland..............Suzuki OEM price would be very expensive!

I also use a brass drift to knock mine in............but if youre real carefull you can use any drift with a flat face!
