You don't need the tapered bearings. Cup and cone style like these bikes have are still used to this day on modern bikes. The only real issue I have found with the Hawk at least, is that they don't grease the bearings, so they eventually fail. Heck, my 1975 GL1000 had the original cup and cone bearings, and ball bearings. I cleaned them up and inspected them, they were still good so put them back in with fresh grease. My Hawk is still running on the bearings it came with.
