From: Rob Kleinschmidt on 17 Sep 2009 15:45 I've got a modified '88 BMW airhead paralever driveshaft with circlip retained, zerk fitted spiders that read "Germany INA f-200698.1 GHJ" About 48mm+ long with a bearing OD of 19mm. Anybody able to suggest a source for these buggers ? Not in a big hurry, but would like to have this info for future reference. INA is the bearing company I believe. Contemplating a possible DIY replacement. Thanks

I think if you contact the fine folks at INA: http://www.ina.com/content.ina.de/en/index.jsp They could probably offer some good suggestions. If they give you the runaround, you can always send an e-mail with the text "And that, folks, is why you started two world wars and lost them both". Any reply might be good for a laugh. Datesfat

I see you've never owned a BMW. According to BMW NA, AG and all suppliers Rob owns the finest motorcycle in the world and should happily put up with any foibles without complaint. They said so in letters to customers. Nor, being good Germans, are they going to help Rob thwart their established supply system. A friend went to Germany expecting to find an aftermarket similar to the H-D aftermarket in the states. He found none because it was essentially illegal to even change handlebars or brand/size of tires, let alone mufflers, etc. They have the same reaction to motorcycle mod's as a devout Muslim has to seeing his teen daughter in a bikini in public. > > "And that, folks, is why you started two world wars and lost them both". They prolly already know that. But don't expect them to change. It's like a national religion.

Except that the Germans' reaction involves less stones. -- "Outback" Jon - KC2BNE outback_jon(a)g.no.sp.am.mail.com http://folding.stanford.edu - got folding?
