Honda Steering Bearing Upgrade CB350 / CB360 / CB450 / CB550 Pt. 1: Disassembly

www.common-motor.com
In part one of our Honda CB350 , CB360, CB450 steering bearing upgrade we tear into the bike and show you how to take apart the all the pieces from the triple tree assembly. This includes the removal of the upper triple tree and lower triple tree as well as the factory style ball bearings with their respective races. We have to get the steering stem and tube taken down to the bare components so that we can install the tapered roller steering bearings on this Honda CB360.
A quick note, use the thinner of the large shim washers that come in the tapered roller steering kit on the lower triple tree before installing the dust seal and the bearing.

You guys aren't getting enough love on here. Your videos have helped my CB450 project immensely, so thank you!

[@cyrilleloreau1603]

Great video. Thank you. I am rebuidling the triple tree and only could afford to clean the old bearings and cases. I was hoping to find a video on how to put greass on them and put the back together without having all the bearings fall or roll around. I'm thnking with enough grease they'll hold in place on the case long enough to be put back in place. Lets. hope.

Clam shell bearing puller for the bottom race.

Looking to do an inverted fork front end swap on my bike which has ball bearings so I’ll see if the races for whatever front end I get will fit will be better than trying to modify the frame

Thanks for the great info!

Does Common Motor support the CB500 Four, in addition to the CB550 Four?

[@8788luigi]

My CB 500T is still ball bearing. what is the difference to the upgrade?

[@8788luigi]

Is the $55 steering part in your catalogue include the outer race? Meaning is that a complete convertion kit? for CB 550t

[@ambigiousmallcop]

Just for reference to anyone tackling this project in the future, what size diameter of C Spanner are you using/came standard in the factory tool kit?

[@DDuke7890]

Thank you so much!!!

[@andrealarocca5945]

Does anyone have a video on installing a steering stem upgrade on a Honda Z50 (1977yr)?

[@jacob14163]

Would the 550 bearing fit on a cb 750?

[@patrickwade3630]

Does this conversion kit work on the cb650?

[@taironmartins2783]

Hello I’m assuming the cb400t is also on this list?

[@roygriep4004]

Does this kit also fit 1967 CB450 Black Bomber?

[@latedroppin]

Anyone know if this will fit the

[@MrBasildondave]

I have heard it before, why do you call the upper and lower yokes 'triple trees' ?

[@2013105]

How much are the top machined triple trees?
