Quick question here.. The bearings in the steering neck on a GTR, can they be bought anywhere or is a Gatortail only part? I know in my harley steering neck a 1" trailer bearing works perfect so i wasnt sure if the same would go for this.

It will be the easiest place to get them. Is your tower really sloppy wit movement?

Yeah, its pretty bad. I picked up a used motor that runs like a top just needs these bushings or bearings changed and it will be good. It doesnt look like a bad job at all to do. Im going to give gatortail a ring in a bit and see what they say though.

They going to tell you to not worry about it. They all get slop in them over time.

Changed the bushings out last night and it was breeze! The shaft in the tower was rusted really bad so i gave it a good cleaning and greased it good then put it all back together. There is still a little slop in the bottom bushing but nowhere near what it had.
