Hello folks,
Have rebuilt the steering system with All Balls bearings. Tapped the side of the neck to fit a grease nipple. Notched the bottom race seat to allow for easier removal of the bottom race. Tightened the two adjusting nuts down - bottom one firm and then 1/4 turn back, top one down tight. I seem to have a fair gap at the centre of the top triple tree, (see photo). Have I done something wrong or is this OK? Should I tighten the bottom adjusting nut down further to bring the top of the triple tree closer the top of the steering stem. All the races were seated correctly although the new top bearing race seems to sit a little higher in the neck. Suggestions?
