gold wing swap
« on: June 26, 2009, 01:17:23 PM »
Anything I need to know?  I think there was something about having to use the GW lower stem bearing and the CB upper, but maybe that was just for Timken bearings.

I just got off the phone with a guy who has a GW front end. He says it got wrecked in the rear, so he bought stuff to make a trike using the GW front. He didn't do it because the wife got in the way.

It appears to be complete.

BTW, does anyone have part numbers for tapered roller bearings?  My CB bearings are notchy, and I don't know if I can use the GW's bearings in the CB neck.
No matter how fast or how far I rode, I couldn't leave her memory behind.
