Just finished the 30,000 miles visual inspection of the headstock bearings + regrease. Once combined with the removing the panels and the petrol tank there's quite a lot to it.
I video'd it as normal, hopefully helps someone out.

I admire your work and the selfless way of sharing so that other Trophy holders can be helped to solve problems.
Thank you

Don't suppose you inspected the wires at the base of the ignition switch whilst you had the bars off? You know that some owners have experienced broken wires due to the hard brake hose rubbing against them?

I looked at the wires but wishing I'd paid more attention now I know that area has history, will make not fit next time. Cheers guys.

Thanks. My dad would have said it'd be a good idea to pack the bearings with grease rather than coat them. Probably not critical in this case as they are not under spinning load like wheel bearings.
