All 24- Thick bearing being replaced by smaller twins ?? 12 hours ago, rc24dk Where did the plastic spacer/washer go? The one described in you first post and shown on the photo. If you tighten the axle around the inner rings it should propably not be between the bearings.…
- Thick bearing being replaced by smaller twins ?? So after putting back the old sprocket bearing in place and playing around I may have found the culprit. The dust seal on the bearing carrier is sticking out by 1 or 2mm. BUT : It seems that there is no need for a dust…
- Thick bearing being replaced by smaller twins ?? While taking the parts off, I've noticed that there was a tiny gap between the bearing in the hub sprocket and the bottom of its housing, my small hapiness was cut short when after 20 minutes on the press, the bearing…
- Thick bearing being replaced by smaller twins ?? @FromMaine Thanks for your input. I'll take the grease seals out and try to press them again. Hopefully that is gonna do the trick.

- Thick bearing being replaced by smaller twins ?? Just had a look at CMSNL and yes you're right, that's the #29, they also have the other one (#28) That's also a big difference in price ! I guess that's OEM parts. I'll take the measurement tomorrow and let you know, I…

- Thick bearing being replaced by smaller twins ?? Hello there I'm changing the bearings from the wheel hub and the sprocket on my 95' vfr, but I'm a bit sceptical about the bearing I have received as replacement. [image:…
- Restoration RC36 1995 And yet another lot done ! From now on, it might get a little slower (yup, even slower than now 🙄) as I just moved out and don't have a space on my own to work from, I'll have to do whatever I need at work during…
- Restoration RC36 1995 Good morning everyone, Here are the progress and set backs from this week and last weekend. A lot of masking, painting, bleeding, re-masking, airbrushing, repeat. If anything, that job is teaching me patience and…
- Restoration RC36 1995 It is a tad tilted @V4 Rosso you got that right, but I belive it matches the angle of the seat cowl, or that was my aim so far. If it does not look right, I'll just correct it with a couple of extra hours of work, to…
- Restoration RC36 1995 Yup, that's what I'm looking to do. I understand what you mean, but it is because I chose to take my line straight along the curve of the back seat, like so [image:…
- Restoration RC36 1995 And yet another batch done. Once again, I had issues with the basecoat peeling off with the tape, leaving "dirty" lines, which I'm going to sort out later. Might worth mentioning that I'm using Octoral with the red and…
- Restoration RC36 1995 It's important to do everything step by step, and to set yourself several small goals, it helps to manage that "I'm never gonna finish that" feeling. Or at least, this is what I'm trying to do. 😁

- Restoration RC36 1995 Thanks ! Yes, I've buffed it from P500 to P2000 and put two quick coat of lacquer on top of it. Now I need to do the rest of the indicators as well as the rear light !
- Upper cowl damage If you have all the bits, and the area with the broken bits does NOT support effort you can use PU glue,a fast acting 2 compenent glue that would solidify very quickly, they exist in transparent for discreet repair. If…
- Restoration RC36 1995 Good (chilly 🥶) evening to you all ! Another step achieved today. The first stage of the painting job is done. Nearly all white is there and a good bit of red has been sprayed. For the record, the tank has been…
- Restoration RC36 1995 Hello everyone ! A wee update : Last weekend I've managed to sort out my rusty tank by using a Por-15 tank sealer kit. Quite a long and strict process but it came out quite nice at the end. Hopefully that will keep the…
- Restoration RC36 1995 And yet another weekly update. Most of the fairings are ready to be primed. I've found another cracks on the rear cowl so I've put a couple staple and some plastic filler. I've had a rather bad surprise with the fuel…
- Restoration RC36 1995 Hi People ! Here are some updates on my work. Prep of the fairings is nearly done as most of the big repairs. The hole for the screw on the lower cowl was a bit complicated but I got there in the end. [image:…
