Gorgeous.

Glad you did not get nailed.

Looks great, nice job.

I had to use the stock ones as the tapered needle bearings din not fit.Seems it is a common issue with them and most use one needle ans one bearing type to gain access to the threads.

Not worth it, one sold for $12,500 in Iowa that in my opinion if considering the time and money involved was worth buying if documented with receipts.

It is a nightmare for sure, any electrical wiring or rubber items from India or china bought from reputable sellers in England or here in the states are worthless parts. Stock rubber RD 250 carb intake two into one rubber boot to filter box split on the seem after a couple months and its a good thing I am in tune with the sounds of the motor as it was receiving to much air to the motor. Anyway the bikes are incredible that you have come across and definitely cause the drool factor but yes I get it completely.

They came out very nice, Doug would be proud.

I just did my RD 350 forks as shown.

I am interested, I will PM you after work today for details.

I know right....I panicked and purchased. when viewing the ad at 4:45 am the number of views went from 3 to 11 in just 3 or 4 minutes, then it displayed 1 in cart soo I jumped. my last set from Gary was just a few dollars  south of 1000.00$ including shipping door to door.

I would have snatched them up also.

I was just sent a tariff bill for $130.00 for a package delivered 4 days shy of a month since delivery day. Has anyone been through this situation of a package slipping through the cracks. Have any ignored the late billing or just payed it, and what happened if ignored.

I am going with the sealed ball bearing setup from Economy Cycle instead of the all balls needle set up.

Since you've already got the tapered bearing races installed, why not run the tapered on the bottom and the caged type on the top? The lower is the one that carries the load and that's where tapered bearings perform better.

Unfortunately while tapping them out the needle bearings were kinda not going to function as designed and they were tossed into the garbage can.

Weird because my Yambits order shipped the usual 5 day to my door even hitting the Memphis hub with no delay or tariff. I feel for you, I expected the same delays and tariffs when purchasing my order.

I installed the upper and lower sets and was unable to reach the stem threads with the ring nut due to the protrusion of the bearings from frame neck not seating in properly. Have I missed something here
