      You're welcome, Doug. I'm glad to be able to help some guys out. I've been searching for this bearing high & low for a few years. I've just been fortunate enough to finally find a supply house that is willing to deal with small quantities and do the search work.

      I've hedged my bets and kept two spare for myself!

      What sort of demand is still out there, I wonder? I'll post a poll to get an idea.

                Randy - I would think demand would be pretty good. When I talked to my brother (who squeezes a nickle until tears come out of Thomas Jefferson's eyes) and explained to him that these things are next to impossible to find, and they're a part that will wear out eventually, and that bearings and races aren't the best parts to buy used - even he got up off the dough. Admittedly, I did a little sales job on him, but he'll thank me for it later . And I'll thank you again for them now. Thanks for looking out for your fellow XSives.

                  All the bearings shipped out this morning. Sorry for the delay, but work was especially busy this week.

                        Geez....

                        I don't know if I need one or not, but with three bikes and a total of five real wheels, what are my chances? Pretty good, eh? Looks like maybe the bearings are all gone though, but maybe I could at least get a photo to look at and keep in a safe place as these things seem to be an endangered species ... would be nice to know what they looked like before they became extinct? .... just kiddin'. If there's still one left, put me down too, please, R.

                              I got mine Randy today. Thanks a bunch. Now I need to order the other one for the back, seals and bearings and seals for the front. Can anyone tell me the best source. I am assuming Yamaha.
