Hi has anyone used these before?, I've got these missing from my recently bought project, and can't got hold of them, saw these and thought it was quite a good price for what you get. (only £45) Just seems a bit of a shame to buy/fit them, as it was going to be a budget build 250. nkracing.co.uk/images/Needle%20roller%20conversion,%20swingarm.JPG |

Yes i use one on my race bike, beautiful bit of kit, been in there two years without any issues, the rollers are loose so take a little patience on fitting, no play at the swingarm pivot whatso ever  |

My 350LC's Metmachex swing arms has these as standard, mine lasted over 10 years before they needed any attention.. |

Same reason i bought one, my bits were shagged it seemed a good option pricewise, well impressed with it. Nothing wrong with the bushes if the rest is in good order, but mine looked like they had been under water since the 80's  That's how the TZ is done so i figured it would be good, Nigels is a nice fella to deal with as well which is a bonus. All the rest of the bits came from you Norbo of course, equally nice to deal with! ;D |

I have PM'd you as I have some new bearings and a used sleeve / spacer tube from my Metmachex overhaul, may be of use to you, but dont know if they will fit the standard Yamaha swing arm.
