Swing Arm Bearings

[x11r 386]

Hi All, as some of you know Ive got my X in bits to get the frame swing arm and other bits powder coated , well took the swing arm bearings out today and although in good condition the tubular bush inside the l/h bearings (needle rollers) is chrome plated, well the chrome plate has started to break up on it so if your X is getting on a bit mines a 2000 model may pay to have a look next time your doing work on the beast, Also the rubber seals on the outsides have started to crack and crumble as if the heat from the exhaust has caused it.
