    I just picked up a Red 98 Honda VFR from a previous member kentuckythunder about a month ago. I'm located in Louisville and I'm looking for a mechanic in the area that is solid, reasonable priced, trustworthy, and knows his way around Hondas. I do have maintenance records, but I don't think the Valves have ever been checked adjusted on this bike. I'm right at 22,000 miles. If anyone has a recommendation for a good shop /person in the area please let me know ?

    Thanks In Advance

    What country are you in, I don't believe you can't get a bearing for it. Does the bearing have a number on it?

    And bearing was destroyed nothing left of needle bearing. Dust. So no numbers just the E1 on the hub adjuster bearing holder

    Take the hub and the spindle to a bearing shop and they will be able to measure it up and tell you what is available for it
