dude thats what the top cap on the headset is for... tightening the headset...loosen your pinch bolts on the stem.. put a spacer under the top cap... crank the topcap down.. then tighten the pinchbolts.. Pushing down on the handlebars is pointless! you should never tighten the top cap last!!!

hay man super nice build. ive basicly got the same. Its a on-one growler pretty hard 2 find but i got it second hand. quick question nd is somethin easy its just ive never had the problem before :L my steerer on my fork is a bit wobbly in the headset. its not that ive got a 1 1/8 in a 1.5 its just a bit but its a bit annoying :P can u help?
@iisbrew hey. this has happened to me a few times as well. Most of the time I can cure it by doing this. follow these steps 1. Loosen your headset top cap 2. Loosen the screws to your stem. (there should be 2 screws) 3. Hold the front brake and wiggle the bicycle back and forth to free up the system 4. Compress the fork by applying the pressure to the handle bars in the downward direction 5. While still compressed, tighten the stem bolts and retighten the headset top cap this should work.

i have 2 shocks for ym bullit. an air shock and coil. i picked up a manitou swinger coil 4 2005 way from bikewaggon for 60 dollars. it may not be quite as good as a fox coil but what a great deal. i expect this bike will last me a long time. i don't use mine for jumps to ensure it will last me a long time. about the only thing im not keen on for thiis bike is the wide chainstays only because you sometimes catch you're feet on them but they look great. they should do more colour choice
i found using loctite 242 on pivot bearing cups made removing them very nasty. i have found grease much better and just check the torque on them regularly. I dont like how loctite makes threads very dry when it comes to undoing the cups. it turns into a powder and makes the thrwads very dry. grease seems much better and keeps the threads lubed. it makes looseining very tight which causes increased thread fatigue.
the rear swingarm pinch bolts on my bullit were of appauling quality. they were brittle and rough and jagged where you insert the hex wrench and could not handle the reccomended torque and stripped. anybody no what size i need for the pinch bolts replacement. i would prefer the black type bolts that are used on stems as they don't strip as easy. where can i get replacement bolts as i dont wanna shed out for a propack just to get some bolts.
woooooooooooo i gt a santa cruz bullit :P 2 I am going to get it powder coated white and do it up once its done ill make a vid it will take a long time do LOL nice bike
how much was the bike? i cant find the price for the whole bike.
