You can buy the needle bearings easily enough , but I need all the sleeves and spacers as my swingarm has nothing with it

Lot of expense involed finding that lot, could you replace them all with simple bearings down to the correct sized pivot? I know these are high load bearings originally, but my JMC arm only has taper rollers fitted each side.

The used sleeves are often trashed and worn. I bought some 'mint used' ones a few years back and they turned up with ghosted roller bearing rollers on em. sigh...
Just buy new ones.

The sleeves then need sleeving to accept the standard LC swingarm bolts too ?
Just trying to figure out the bits I need as I have blinked and forgot the last one I did
needle bearings end caps shims centre tube sleeves standard NK racing reducer sleeves
Is this correct ?

Don't think you need the shims under the end caps
I know you bin them on a ypvs and don't imagine NK narrows the arm any more than absolutely needed

In fact when the arm is converted does he not reduce the centre tube as well

Yes I did it on my other bike I may have the tube, nerf to check but havent the pivot sleeves or thrust washers and needle bearings
Wonder if Metmachex could do some sort of conversion to make the RGV arm to fit an LC

I covered fitting one of these and all the bits on my 421 build in the 'chassis' section of my site. might be worth a look as it has some pics and info. also has the plan to DL which also covers what is needed like the new inner sleeves etc very similar to the nk kit.
