  • Who needs a left rear wheel bearing?

    Over the past few weeks, I've been able to find a dozen or so original NA5904 bearings. The supplier I'm working with is willing to do the legwork to find the leftover stock and bring them in from other distributors, but eventually the supply will dry up. The purpose of this poll is to determine how many of you want one or more of the bearings so we can grab as many as we can before they go away forever.

          I hate to spend that much $ but it's one of those things I'll be glad to have when I need it. Put me down for one as well once you get them in. Thanks!

                Thanks for doing the legwork on this, Randy. I better get on the futures list for two, even knowing that will only look after half of our fleet. If I put that many miles on even two of the four bikes over the next 20 or 30 years, I'll probably need more than a couple of bearings for the 20 or 30 years after that. Let's see, that should make it about 2030 or 2040...

                        Im guessing these are h ard to find?

                        $50 for a bearing is crazy. There's nothing that inter changes?

                              Andy for a while it was thought they were extinct!! or to quote an XS11 term "made form unobtanium!!" It is actually quite the bearing, needle bearings, two piece IIRC, and yeah almost impossible to find. So...$50 may seem steep, but when it is down to that bearing and owning a newly confirmed parts bike! $50 seems reasonable!
