After a month of mucking around my 2smoker rebuild is finally under way, Im currently painting the frame and rims so when it comes to reassembilly I will need new headstock uppper and lower bearings and cups.
They are (no surprise) expensive from dealers so im after any input on engineering shops in the waikato that may be able to stock the required bits for a fair price.

I should of been more on to it and bought them from spanhakes engeneering whilst on holiday in kaitaia :rolleyes:

Cheers

Go And see the local bearing shops like SKF or Bay engeering for example if you have the bearings and cups out take them in and chances are they will be able to match them up..

Im restoring a PE175 and I have replaced every engine and frame bearing and oil seals for under $160 by going to a bearing wholesaler

Thats wicked, I wouldnt mind doing the lot since the bike is currently in a million peices, all the bearings seem to be ok bar the headstock, the cups are cracked so they are far gone should of been done ages ago but somehow it must not have been picked up by the previous owner/s.
