I just read the tech article how -to and it made no mention of a spacer.. I'd swear I read somewhere to keep the old lower ball bearing race as a spacer. But using the search tool I think I figured it out please confirm?
the '74 & up xs frame neck is longer then the pre-'74 neck so if you want to use a late front end/lower tree in an Pre frame with the tapered bearing you leave the old bottom ball bearing holder beneath the tapered bearing as a spacer for the longer stem in the shorter neck.. Sound correct??
and which side is up for the all balls bottom grease shield??
