registered user Posted July 16, 2018 Report Posted July 16, 2018 maybe your friend isnt interested but ive found oem cr500 bearing and washers to be much better than the cheezy bearing those pancake setups are supplied with Quote

JUSTWANNARACE Posted July 19, 2018 Report Posted July 19, 2018 Not sure who made that pancake bearing but I have been using the mattoon ones for years with no issues. Never seen one fail(when installed and adjusted properly). Just wondering what the point of sourcing a different one? Have you guys had failures? If so, explain.. Quote
registered user Posted July 19, 2018 Report Posted July 19, 2018 the problem is the bearing and washer. not the main pancake piece that the rod pushes. im sure several companies are making the pancake setup but the one i bought looked like the bearing was made by little chinese kid with hammer and chisel. here u go bigred . washer 90608-072-000 bearing 91001-147-003 Quote
BigRed350x Posted July 19, 2018 Author Report Posted July 19, 2018 Nice, thanks man! Looks very similar. I'd be interested to see some hardness tests on the rollers and cages for comparison. I will have to pick up a couple and do a visual inspection... Quote
registered user Posted July 19, 2018 Report Posted July 19, 2018 the honda bearing is a high qaulity ntn. bearing on the pancake setup i bought was cheezy garbage. the cage wasnt even symetrically round. i did have comparison photos. ill see if theyre still kicking around Quote
