Bruce, What a nice gesture. I've been on a number of different motorcycle newsgroups and this is the friendliest, most helpful group I've come across yet. I think I'll stay here with the good folks in the Hummer group. I'm new to the Hummer scene, but have been messing with bikes for a few years. I doubt I have any Hummer related parts you need, but might have a generic M/C part you could use. Is there anything you need, that I might have, that I could offer in return for this upper race? Thanks again Bruce. I hope I can return the favor, or at least have an opportunity to pass it on.

Email me your address and i will send you one no charge. Bruce Mackenzie harleyrestoration.com ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- It's time to remount the triple trees. I've located and replaced the 2 bearing races in the frame stem and the lower race on the lower triple tree. I cannot find, and don't think I removed an upper race from the upper stem when I took this thing apart. There was a stamped silver cap that topped all of this off, but it doesn't seem to be a proper bearing race. The parts book doesn't seem to be of any help. I can't find the frame mounted races listed, and the triple tree pic shows 2 45736-47 cones on page 23. This leads me to believe that I'm missing one piece of this puzzle. Is it possible that a bearing race was missing when I took all of this apart? Maybe someone has a better picture than the parts book, or a better description than I have given? Thanks Joe |
