Has anybody ever done this or am i the only one.:confused:

It will be fine like that. But if you want you can get more bearings to put in. On my laeger swingarm I use one regular and one houser bearing per side. The ones houser sells aren't as long as the regular ones.

We use at least two bearings per side on all of our swing arms except the 86/87 250R, space only allows for stock width to be used. The Honda 400EX actually has three bearings on the right side. This design allows for more needle bearing area per side, which means more strength and more importantly, allows for a grease zirk to be added between the bearings. If only one bearing is used, there probably is not a way to grease them. Grease could not go thru the outside of the bearing unless the bearing allowed for it & a grease relief circle was added to the bearing holder ID.

You can do that with your swingarms since you build them to go up to the motor, which I like. With my laeger it only has enough room for a regular bearing and one of yours, since they let the bearing tube is the only part that goes to the motor on theres.

I'm sure everybodies swingarms are a little diffrent and it just depends how much room you have to work with. As to hom many bearings your going to fit in there. And still have enough room for the seals.

Next step: does this seal thing go inside the end cap?

Then does this little gold piece go on like so..

Then does that endcap with the seal on it go right over the gold piece and the swing arm.

Thanks,

Looks good.

ok good, i think those two little seals go on the back of the motor where the the swing arm bolt goes through.
