Good place to get head bearings?

[Audacious Nick]

So I need a head bearing for my bike, however All Balls doesn't have the size I need. Do you guys know anyone else who makes custom size bearings? I need a 28x47x15mm.

I have access to bearings, but what bike is it for?

From the main page on BARF the thread title looks like "good place to get head..." :laughing

It's for a Superhawk with a 2001 WR250 front end.

I do not show I have access to the size you are looking for, but I do have access to one or the other. Now if you used the center shaft off the SuperHawk triple trees, then I would believe the SuperHawk bearings would work.

Oh thats gonna be costly unless you can find one that will work.

If you have to have something machined, be sure the machinist uses 52100 alloy. After hardening it's tempered to rC60. Then grind the radius for the ball diameter. On second thought, cant you take the ID/OD races that fit the frame and grind the ID to fit the stem? Or machine spacers if the stem is smaller? That's a lot cheaper than trying to make races.
