thanks--i'll check them out. the problem is, however, not that noone make bearings in these particular sizes, but that honda had them machined in a way that is non-generic. for example, the shafts' ball bearings both have locating grovves in them that are atypical. haven't given up yet though...

western hills had one of them, at double the normal honda price! maybe if i can't find them at all...but in the meantime, $60 is too much for one little bearing.

You gotta be carefull with all these NOS "vintage" parts places, some are working off years old price lists and yes, believe it or not, some Honda prices have gone DOWN, depends on overall stock and wether they want rid of them or not!
