B6000 steering box question

[Bigscooter]

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum. I have a B6000 Steering box That looks different inside than the ones I see online. I'm hoping I can at least find bearings for it.

I guess I'm not allowed to post pictures yet. I do have a picture of it in my Albums though.

Wow, thanks for the info! After checking on the upper bearing part number, now I'm confused. I cross referenced the Upper bearing number And Most places say it's a 40MM od bearing. On mine I don't think it can be bigger than 32 MM od. I better do some more measuring.
