Sooooo you're not saying you don't then

Bearings are usually pretty tough and can have huge lives, sometimes they don't though. My 750's rears went at 23K and the front at 25K, the roads are a bit bumpy round here and I don't hang around so I figure it's not too bad.
Your head bearings were probably just a little bit loose, just enough to have a tiny bit of movement that can damage the surfaces.
It's all minor stuff really, keep the oil clean and the motors going to last for years.
