Leave the frame pieces in there. The shaft slips right in.

Any chance the pictures can be put back up, as the don't seem downloadable.

Also, what type of aluminum do you recommend?

Thank you,
Richard

I think it's on the blueprint/spec sheet, but IIRC it's 6061?

P.S. Driving back from Hilton Head right now with the 955 and 956LE on top of the car :-)

Just wondering - what happened to all the images from these threads? Just wondering if the sealed bearing diagrams (for the XX00 and X57 frames) are still available?

Thanks in advance!

Colin! Thanks for those! :-)

I could have sworn that someone has created an X57 version of the sealed bearing setup and posted pictures of it a while back, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Actually the EVO frame has needle bearings that are not sealed.

It would be interesting to recover pictures of the actual sealed bearing modification.

Yes, serviceguy, you're quite right, needle not sealed!

Ahhh, Doug, you mean the conversions that some people have done on here to x57's, Evo's and Oz's!
Yes, these really happened!
Here's Simon's thread on it and you're quite right, the photos have disappeared! any Admin know why?
http://idriders.com/proflex/smf/index.php?topic=2927.msg20677;topicseen#msg20677

I'm trying to upload some files that I have on these, but can't do a Mass Upload!
I've considered doing this mod on my bikes, but as I have spare pivot kits, It's not too urgent!
(but, I do speculate whether the bearing conversion could result in less "stiction" in the pivot...?)

Here are links to my copies of the pivot diagrams for 957 and Evo.
