  • Aye, There be bearings here!

    Just went down and picked the NA5904 bearings up.

    Three or four hours in the Evapo-Rust and they should be ready to go. Little brushing with a wire brush and they should look almost new!

    C'mon' you didn't start belivin it did you?

    Brand new in the box. I was given a quote of a few cents under $35.00 and with the freight charges they are right at $38.

    I am going to put them in the small Flat Rate box form USPS and that is $4.95.

    That brings the grand total to $42.95. Hope everyone is OK with that.

    Send me a PM with some address information and I'll start to get the buggers out.

          Got'cha...how many people have had it fail, or is it more of a preventative measure?

            Think it might be more of a preventative measure, 'cause you just can't just run out and buy one if you need it. I've never had one fail before, knock. Got one with 90K+ on it now, I have regreased it several times though.

                  The left rear on mine failed along with all the other wheel bearings and the speedometer drive gears. The PO thought that because the XS has a snorkel it's a submarine so he flood-washed it then hit it with a pressure washer before storing it for the better part of a decade.

                      Rick,
                      Got it and will check on the proper shipping.
                      I found out that Flat Rate Shipping varries. Got some bad intel on that.

                            It's a good spare to have, I guess. I got one from Randy when he bought a batch a couple of yrs back. I have never had one fail though.

                              Having one will probably assure that you will never need one.
