    The search for swingarm bearings

    Hey guys, doing a build on my 80 GS550 and I removed the swingarm needle bearings for powdercoat. I'm ready to put some back in and the only needle bearings I could find are on ebay, aftermarket and in Europe
    Does anyone know where I could find some nice OEM/high quality needle bearings state side?

        Your local dealer? I ordered some for my 1100E with no issues.

              I'd spend at least $30+ on PartsOutlaw to make shipping a non-issue.

              People have actually spent less than $10 and expected their shipping to be less than $5.

              my opinion shouldn't be taken as gospel or in any way that would lead you to believe otherwise (30Sep2021)

                My bike had a sever amount of corrosion on the shafts that slide into the bearings
                I went cheap and flipped em but even they are cheap enough
