Swing Arm Bearings

Yoshi823:
When I was modifying my 750F2 I found a company that was selling phosphor-bronze swinging arm bearings.As you may or may not know the standard ones are made of plastic...not very confidence inspiring.

So I managed to buy 5 sets of these.One set went into my 750 project,another set into my wifes CB550F2, with another set in a friends CBX1000Z.The other sets were sold to other needy friends.At that time these sold for about

Yoshi823, where did you get these bearings from please? Am after some for my 400?  :)

Yoshi823:
I'm afraid that the company that I bought the PB bearings from ceased trading many years ago. But I did read more recently that you could buy them on fleebay for not too much...some place in Portugal. I am sure that if the likes of DSS could be made to import them then he would have a regular flow of orders. Failing that, there are several machining firms in Classic MCM who may well be able to make some up for you. I needed some for my Honda XL250SA, could not find any that I could buy so I machined some up from Dural (an aluminium with more tin in the alloy which gives a better machined finish). These were still in the bike after 15,000 miles with no problems.
