2006 Honda CBF600 Wheel bearings and tapered steering heads bearings.

Talk to me about bearings people need front and rear wheel bearings and some tapered steering head bearings.  What brands and where to buy them?  I am well out of the loop on this sort of thing. 

I have tried David Silver Spares and I can genuine Honda front wheel bearing and pattern Japanese rear wheel bearings from them, bit spendy, but I don't mind paying for the right stuff.    I can get a Tour Max kit for tapered steering head bearings for around £50.?

On some online parts lists you can define what size the bearings are , then like @Buckster just order them from a bearing supplier.  I use https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/?msclkid=6bd2ee34478d1436eeea86681cec8f63&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Simply Bearings Brand&utm_term=simply bearings ltd&utm_content=Simply

Simply bearings usually have the best price for single bearings but Wych are best for quantity discounts.

Thanks for the input but I am not sure I can be arsed with doing the bearings myself, I have been in the shed for a month with my bike, Shadow’s bike and Fuzz Nuts Ped so I am going to get my valve check guy to do the work.   He’s happy to do it so I have ordered front/rear and steering kits with NTN Japanese bearings in.    It’s what he asked for.

NTN are absolutely fine, they were the only make I could get for my CRF250 Rally and it's what Honda were supplying at the time .
