Just my opinion, but I fit tapered every time.
Ballraces seem to flat relatavely easily in my experience.
Changed mine on my SP1 after I bought it because the steering was notchy.
Turns out the bearings were as new when I got them out, but they'd been overtightened.
Head bearing kit for the Kwak VN1500 is a straight swap.
