main bearing problems.
main bearing problems.

Re: main bearing problems.
I haven't checked the exact outside diameters but I believe all were the same. Bored out to enable bigger bearings because of damage? You need to be very careful checking all dimensions if work has been carried out.

Re: main bearing problems.
My AR bearings are 72mm OD. I know I have already sent you info so hopefully you are getting it sorted. Could your builder be looking at the CR rather than CRM? a lot of people have not even heard of the CRM and they are completely different bikes. CR is 68.00x28.00x18.00
