I had lots of stuff to sell, but have been clearing out all the "can't get rid of it" stuff on eBay. Made some $, made some room and I'm glad my parts are helping other people around the world. Swap meets are cool to look at things but usually it's a waste of time trying to sell items. I'm a strong maybe on going.

Is there a fee to set up a table?

If you’re looking to buy a good 450 size dual sport, I know that Tim @Goofy Footer has a Honda CRF450L that he should sell.

You should be able to split the cases without removing that, but it will have to come off to replace that bearing. Once the case is out of the way, I would think that almost any sort of spanner wrench would be able to remove it. Something like this? Some of these kind of spanners are available with a square drive to put a torque wrench on them so you could reinstall it and get the proper specification on it. Otherwise we have some pretty good fabricators in this group, you could see if someone could make something for you since you said you are lacking in tools to make it yourself. I think starting with a piece of pipe with the same diameter of the ring and then filing/grinding/milling out the "teeth" would be what I would do. I'm glad to see that you're moving forward with this project and taking on the challenge.

What is the seat height on that thing?

Early DR350S (90-93) rear wheels had cush drive on an 18" rim. DR650 has it on a 17" rim. Or you had an aftermarket rear wheel set. Anyway, solid deal on these wheels!

You can tell from the picture that it's not a cush drive. DRZ never came with a cush drive.

Thanks to @Zubb for reminding me, this is coming up this weekend. See ya there??

No milk crate, pass.

Did you swap out the super thin tubes in the tires? I've seen lots of stories about how crappy they are.

Let’s try to get some of us out there. I wasn’t able to make it to the last one, but been to a few recently. Coffee and donuts at the start, lunch and a raffle when we finish and helping keep our trails open and maintained.

I don’t know if I could pick a favorite. It was neat to see an Ariel Square Four and a Vincent Black Shadow. Not as big of an event as I expected but it was a nice day to look at bikes.

I have an extra CamelBak backpack if anyone needs one. Free is a good price. A cold beer in hand is acceptable also.

That’s awesome. Definitely interested to hear from someone in this group about these bikes.

I was about to say something similar. Unfortunately, it’s a complete engine disassembly to replace that bearing. With almost 50,000 miles on the engine it probably makes sense to replace lots of other parts.
