Yes, the original outer races are still there--I considered putting balls in them just so that the new bearing cups would seat on them and hopefully be held in alignment that way, but I really don't think that would be necessary. I can always go back and put them in later if I decide I need to. Interesting about your serial number, I think that may be the closest one I have seen to mine yet. Mine had a 1972 issued New Mexico title when I got it, and according to that title, my bike was sold new in Kansas in 1968. Do you know where yours was originally sold?
