For whom the bell tolls
I need to get a new gimble bearing for my steering damper. Does anyone know of a place in Auckland that will be able to replace it for me at short notice (before thursday)
The bearing on the right on the left is in good condition, the arrow shows where the inner bearing has come out of the casing in the red mount.
The bearing seems to have warn its way out of the housing and there was a little bit of rust there from not being lubed up properly.

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

haha, last time i was out at manfield i found it helped even if i wasnt getting into tank slappers. I got given a suspension setup to try but i need to have the damper on because im lowering the front forks by 6mm and i dont want it to be toooo sensitive.
But yeh, it mounts to the top 'jesus nut' on the steering head. Sits left to right, mounts to the tank bolts with and arm out one side, then to a mount bracket that is secured under the top nut of the tripple clamp.

alright, found a place called Auckland Bearing Suppliers down in Diana Drive, Glenfield.
The bearing is known as a Spherical Bushing, was relatively easy to get a hold of (they had to get one in from across town) so i'll be picking it up first thing tomorrow. Cost $35, just gotta go to the workshop next door to get the old housing pushed out and the new one pressed in.
