Title: Needle Bearing order for 99 frames and EVOs
Post by: iliv2k2 on October 04, 2012, 03:22:11 pm

I made an order for the Torrington B1010 Needle bearings for a rebuild I'm doing on a '99 K2 4000 frame I bought a few months ago. Problem is Baum Hydraulics (listed as a source in another post) doesn't carry them any longer and can only order them in batches of 100.

Are there 25 folks out there interested in getting four each? I'm waiting on the bulk discounted rate, but I thought I'd post this now as the site has slowed in recent months.

I knew about the amazon option, but they only order 2 at a time and there may come a day they can't order any more either.

I would be interested in few.

I'd be interested if this provided a way to achieve the buttery smoothness of the sealed bearing conversion without the need to ream the swingarm (which proved costly when I had it done on my 4000's swingarm). Does anyone have more information on this (I've been absent from the list for a few months)?
