1981 Honda CB900C Custom · Steering Bearing Service Buying guide
The listed tapered-bearing kit and separate stem hardware solve different problems. Keep upper and lower bearings and races identified, and inspect the stem threads before deciding whether the repair needs bearings, fasteners or both.

The kit supplies upper and lower tapered bearing races. Check the surrounding steering assembly and follow the proper installation and adjustment method. A new bearing kit does not establish that damaged stem threads or unrelated fasteners can be retained.
The top stem nut 90304-425-000 uses the separately listed washer 90503-425-000. Honda also shows a thread B nut, locking washer and bearing-adjustment nut below the top bridge. Match each position carefully; the listed top-nut washer should not be mistaken for the separate locking washer.
A nut does not repair damaged bearing surfaces. Honda calls for bearing and race inspection and replacing the bearing with its matching races when needed. Diagnose the roughness before choosing hardware alone, and use the steering adjustment procedure after the repair.
They occupy different positions. Honda shows a separate locking washer with the lower steering nuts. The listed 90503-425-000 washer belongs with the top stem nut; identify the removed part from the assembly diagram before ordering.
Use the part references and assembly positions: 90304-425-000 is the stem nut, while 90302-425-830 is the top thread-on lock nut. Compare the service diagram and removed hardware.
