    Hey guys new to the site just got my megelli 2011 model off a family friend. I have managed to fix a few problems it had but now am trying to find new steering bearings. I have taken the old ones out and have the bearing number but am having no luck finding replacements. Does anyone know where I can get them from or if there is another set I can use. This is the last thing before I can get the bike on the road. I'm from sydney but I can always get them posted. Thanks guys

    :welcome:

    Where have u tried to get them?

    Bearings are made by bearing manufacturers not by the bike companys

    u should be able to just take them to a decent bearing shop and get them matched

    Why do they need replacing? ..... I know these bikes had a few problems...is this one of them?

    Being only a few years old , maybe they just need cleaning up,re greasing , and the headstock tightened correctly.

    Bearings are made to standard sizes, so if you can measure the inside and outside diameters, then the depth a bearing shop should be able to match the sizes from their catolouges.
