SF1 steering head bearings

[harpmeister]

Can anyone help me with the size of the top and bottom tapered steering head bearings for a SF1 as I can't read the markings on the ones I have just taken out, also should there be a spacer that goes in before the bearing race as mine doesn't have any yet the diagram in the parts manual shows there should be.

Thanks
Joe

Tapered bearing (30205) only at the bottom.
Sealed ball bearing 6205 2RS at the top.
Yes, both spacers are needed!

Thanks Ernesto but I have just removed tapered bearings from both top and bottom, what is correct - tapered or ball bearing on top ?
