Swing Arm Pivot Bearings, Seals and Bushes Kit off a XR400

I have a 1989 Mk1 Crm 250. I have found out that an aftermarket Swing Arm Pivot Kit off a 1996-2003 XR400 fits the CRM, The Outside Cap? Seals, the inside seals, the bushes and one set of bearings are the same as the orginal CRM250 parts, but you will have 4 or so spare bearings which are slightly larger (I am pretty sure that they will fit though as they are 18mm wide instead of 12mm so you will have a spare set of bearings.). I am yet to find a Swing arm Linkage Kit that will fit exactly.
I do realise that this might be old infomation but I was unable to find it when I searched on the site, and in the FAQ Read this first there was no infomation about Kits just individual parts, I hope this helps some one! Please do ask me questions if you got any?
All Balls Racing Part number 28-1012

Thanks

That's a very good find

.
Actually the 18mm wide bearings will fit and are better than the 12mm originals especially if they have seals on one side. This mod - i.e.18mm single sealed bearings has been around for some time but the kit part is a bonus

Thanks, It took me around 4 hours going through different kits on the pivotworks.com website. It was irritating but worth it in the end saved over US$600!
I read about your MK1, it is amazing. The bearings that come in the kit are unfortanately not sealed on one side, but I am still going to use them I think, they will be alot better for the bike and will last longer.
I have used alot of your Infomation Knackered, regarding parts sizes, etc. so I owe you! All i have to do is find a CR125 plastic tank and modify the frame.
Thanks Jonty
