Need help with steering/headstock bearing numbers

Would anyone know the the part numbers for tapered steering bearings? I went to the Honda shop but they only have the ball bearings numbers.

I need the numbers for my fork conversion and those number have to be something that a bearing supplier can identify like the ones that are stamped on the races.

Thanks for the help in advance

Ha! Just after doing mine 2 days ago! Took out the old ball races to find that only the lower one was standard size available in a bearing shop so had to put back in the old upper bearing while I look for the right size roller for it.

Anyway the bearings you need are: 30x55x17 lower and 26x47x15 upper. Your just looking for normal tapered roller bearings in that size. The 26x47 bearing is an awkward size and seems to be only used for bike headstocks. I ended up finding one on ebay. Good luck with it.[hr]
Oh yeah I presume these are for the mc22?

Yep MC22. I'll try those sizes out next time at the shop. You wouldn't have the number that are stamped on them? Or they already in the bike?

Thanks for the help though.

They are already in the bike Im afraid. Though any good bearing shop should be able to find them from the sizes. Sizes are in mm of course!
