Jd bug stock to sealed headset?

[mattyts]

How much will it cost? do i just need to buy the headset or do i need new forks?and how do i do it?

 

[alexscooter]

you need a threadless headset, threadless fork and some type of compression like scs, ics or hic. for scs you can use 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 bars with no slits. ics 1 1/4 bars with slit. hic 1 3/8 bars with slits. put a starnut in the fork, slide it up in the headtube tighten your compression put your bars on and your ready to go.

Just for sealed bearings?

 

[alexscooter]

sealed bearings is the same as a regular threadless headset except the bal bearings are in a cage. it will keep less dirt out of them.

wow you dont need all that.

all you need is the threadless headset and the stock locknut. you can run stock forks and bars with it.

[Anthony_Q]

[alexscooter]

Ok so if i buy a cane creek threadless headset i just take my old races out put them in and use a stock locknut to hold it in place?
