1980 Honda CB650C Custom · Steering Bearings & Hardware Buying guide
The tapered bearing kit serves the upper and lower bearing positions. The stem nut and washer have their own replacement references and are sold individually, allowing you to replace the hardware your inspection actually calls for.

The steering kit includes upper and lower tapered bearing races for its listed CB650C application. The featured nut and washer are distinct products. Check the full steering assembly before ordering so worn hardware is considered separately from the bearing replacement.
The stem nut replaces 90304-425-000 and the washer replaces 90503-425-000. Their part identity helps with ordering but does not establish assembly settings. Use the appropriate service manual and any supplied bearing instructions for installation, adjustment and final checks.
The stem-nut guidance calls for setting bearing preload by the correct service procedure first, then fitting the correct washer and tightening the upper nut without disturbing that adjustment. Check for smooth steering with no notchiness, binding or play afterward; extra top-nut tightening is not a substitute for diagnosis.
The specified washer’s thickness and seating surface affect the upper hardware’s clamping. Compare the original arrangement and reference 90503-425-000 rather than choosing by hole diameter alone. The matching nut and washer are separately supplied, so inspect both during steering service.
Identify the fitted stem, bearings and frame arrangement first. A swapped front end may not retain the standard CB650C combination, so its required dimensions must be checked before relying on the model application.
