Just before I throw everything back together, is it going to be worth doing a taper roller conversion on the headstock? The standard ball and race bearings look/feel ok, but it seems silly not to change them if I can ...
Any feedback appreciated.

I fitted taper races on my previous bike (FZ600) and compared to the standard races they were almost totally free of 'friction'. Yes , I did install them correctly before anyone asks. Personally I didn't like the loose feeling to the steering but was stuck with it until I decided to revert to the standard ball races.
Rubber side down, Red side up is my preferred riding style.
