which head bearings

Sorry if this sounds really dumb........
I have just brought some '98 blade forks etc to put on my 2000 'storm.
Iam going to change the head bearings at the same time cos I might as well.
Will new bearings for a storm fit the steering stem on the blade front end/or blade bearings fit my storm headstock?
Probably dead simple answer but I a, also dead simple!

Cheers.

VTR ones, get the standard ones (instead of tapered) if you don't want to mess about as the bottom dust seal will not fit the tapered bearings.

as a double check get the dealer to cross reference the part numbers for the bearings when you order them.

98 blade and storm head bearings are the same part no. which makes life much easier.
Thanks for the advice Del.
