Hey guys, I’ve just installed new All Balls Tapered Bearings. I’ve seated the new seats and the bottom bearing on the neck. I’m not sure on whether it is far enough in the head from the bottom end however. I’ll post a photo and if someone could tell me if it’s right or not that would be awesome. Cheers!

Looks about right from here. If it ain't, you'll know before you hit 10 kph on the road.
Going from ball bearings and races to all balls tapered may make you question if it's right, been there. Put the bike on the center/service stand, grab the front tire, lift it off the ground and give it a shake......shouldn't be any play.
