Is there a bearing and race kit available that fits the RX3?

I'm a little surprised that you are in need of steering stem bearings after only 3000 miles or so; having said that there is nothing special about the RX3's bearings. Just pull it apart and measure them - outer diameter, then the inner opening, and finally the width; then replace them with the matching tapered style bearing. According to CSC's website, the upper is a 32005, there isn't a number listed for the lower bearing, but both are available if you do actually need them @ $11.50 a piece, plus shipping.
