I too had changed my steering head bearing (guarantee, 
fortunately!). When I asked my dealer, if a taper roll bearing would 
be better or last longer, he looked on his microfilm and told me that 
the bearings usually are taper roll bearings?!

BTW: with the new bearings, the bike feels almost new!!!

Ciao,
