So,
\nwhile we were at it, Pokidam Number 1 was looking pretty worn out too,
\nso we cut off the threaded part of that junk axle shaft with a metal saw
\nand joined two together
\nand Pokidam Number 2 was born! No pictures!
\nIt’s like Gachappin and Mook! \u2193
 
\n
 
Upper seal\u2014same as on the Bandit 1200 and GS1200SS and such
 
\n
 
Lower seal is also the same as the Bandit family\u2605
\nModern seals really are well made these days.
\nInstead of the old press-fit seals, they now have stepped lips for better operation
\nand better sealing\u2605I like them because they’re heavy and don’t need fitting adjustment
 
\n
 
Pop it in and the face sits flush\u2014you can see it by eye and feel confident
 
\n
 
When we measured the dimensions they were identical,
\nso we went with our own preference and went with ball bearings top and bottom.
\nNot that ball bearings with retainers are necessarily better
\nor that tapered roller bearings are bad\u2605
\nIf you like tapered, you go with tapered\u2605<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
