Where to buy steering bearings?

So I'm still looking at the idea of doing a fork swap on the XJ6

Looking for some specific steering bearing sizes:

Top set:
30x47x12

Bottom set:
31x55x18

I've found a place in America (They want £31 for the bearings (seems a good price) but then another £25 for postage. Paying £56 for £31 bearings seems a bit mad.

Anybody know where in the UK I might source them? I've found some in China cheap as chips but steering bearings are something I don't want to do on the cheap.

Tried and failed:
Simply Bearings (They have the top, but want £37 for them.)

 

They don't fit any bike standard haha they're only used on fork conversions or air-conditioning units (mostly).

 

What forks you putting on?

 

Loads of bearing suppliers out there and these seem pretty much stock sizes. Use thousands of bearings at work, only use SKF or Timken bearings. There are a lot of cheaper options but trust me you get what you pay for. We manufacture military and construction equipment transmissions and give long warranties on our products even for the most extreme conditions these go into.

R6 if it is even possible haha not like you lucky sv650 bastards just in and out with gsxr forks

 

They want £37 just for the top bearings and don't have the bottom ones in stock

now I'm finding out I might be able to use my old bottom bearings though.

Edit

Search skf bearing on eBay and look for a seller bolton engineering

 

Compass bearing in Rainford make them to order-tip guys and a few bikers work there that will manufacture to your needs.

 

Forks off the BMW s1000rr are going pretty cheap in eBay they will look good too, plus just as light

 

NKE Bearings

are the r6 forks thicker?

 

Come on Karl.

 

Just be warned that the steering lock may not work because of the difference in ignition barrel and forks

 

The XJ has conventional. The R6 are USD.
