Where is the bearing going to go if the linkage is on the bench? Hence the large socket to push the bearing into. Personally I use a vice vs. brute force

You know a metallurgist? Maybe you could box it up and ship it to someone, I know a couple guys that did that. At least you'd know what it's made out of. Just from the picture it looks like part of one of those round ferrous magnets you keep in the garage. The only motor I ever rebuilt...

Glad you got it sorted. Can be crickets here until everyone gets there presents lol 😜

Taco Moto in AZ has a bunch of kewl barely street legal stuff. https://tacomoto.co/

There's a process for this. I researched (via https://expresslane.dps.louisiana.gov/) when I purchased a 2008 KLX450R in AR. Put the min. street legalities on, brought it to Troop G, had it inspected, went to DMV next door, walked out with a plate. Will be testing the same process with the AJP...

Hellcat, where are you at in LA? I'm from Cali, was there in Oct. Planning on a trip in late Sept. I'll be driving and have a utility trailer with my AJP PR& on it. If you still want it by then It would be easy to transport for you. For a gas $$$ consideration of course ;)

I will NEVER rebuild a lower end w/o replacing everything I can! I had a 1982 Maico 490. Had a bearing failure (don't recall which.) Around 1994 if I recall. There was 1 bearing I couldn't get for another 2 weeks. Said F' it, put it together. Ran great for 1.5 hours and that exact bearing...

When I 1st read the title, I thought of 'Big Head Todd and the Monsters' lol

I've seen those w/ a shoulder bolt and a locknut thru the plates

Made me smile at the end. We are dirt bike riders after all. Hard to say no. I had no biz w/ my life right now, but had to say yes w/ my PR7 Gold. No way I was letting that go, lol
