Cannot hurt to lightly oil it and wrap in wax paper.
Also I plan to pre-emptively change it for my new touring build, then put the existing one away for future use.

The bearings come with a coat of light oil but I would put it in a ziplock plastic bag and squirt a load of oil in the there before sealing it up.....Originally posted by Tat2demon View PostXS1100F 1980 European model.

Update
Quick update folks. As of Sunday 22 July, all bearings ordered and paid for have been despatched.
I still have some of these bearings left. If anyone wants to invest in one for the future, then please let me know by PM and I willl supply one. As stated earlier in this thread, the bearings + international airmail shipping (delivery within 10 days) cost $38.20 each (that's US dollars). Payment via Paypal is required as it's fast and easy.
Older members of this forum know the difficulty in getting hold of these bearings. Newer members and people new to these lovely bikes may not be!XS1100F 1980 European model. Standard. Dyna coils.

Ah! Praise indeed. I reckon I've single-handedly cured the Unobtanium problem re these bearings. It's great fun! I have invitations from grateful recipients, the world over. Some of them were waiting for months with bikes off the road, due to failure of that bearing!Originally posted by Stralya View Post
It's also interesting to see just how many countries XS1100's are found, still going. What a bike

Hi Folks.
Can you please post here if you have not received your bearing order, giving the date that you paid? One particular package took 3 weeks to arrive and the purchaser e-mailed me to ask where it was (it arrived next day!). That amount of time is definitely not the norm... it's usually 6-10 days. So I'm wondering if anyone else has not received theirs yet?
As of today, 28 July, all bearings ordered have been despatched. That's over 200 of these Unobtania that I've shipped out
I still have some left and I have listed a couple of them on eBay for non-members. If anyone wishes to invest in one of these for future, or maybe even immediate, use please PM me asapXS1100F 1980 European model. Standard. Dyna coils. Iridium plugs. XS750 final drive (sometimes).
