I am gathering parts to use when I pull the rear wheel for service on my 1998 Valk Tourer and I want to do the double bearing mod while I have it apart.  Can someone give me the part number for the double ball bearing that I need and also how much I have to remove off the spacer to allow the bearing to fit.

Here is the link to the ShopTalk article that XRING did on the double row bearing mod.

Everything you need to know is in this article.

Hope this helps,

STOP..........the bearing will fit!  The internal spacer (between the bearings is NOT changed) will work as it always worked.

The change is made to the little external "hat" looking spacer that goes on last right before you slide the axle through the left side of the swing arm.  you grind off the difference between the two bearings is all

Bernie you can get the spacer machined in South Clinton...He did mine along with Paul and Greg's as well for $10.00 each.Takes him about 5 minutes after he gets it set-up.

I may be a grease monkey but I don't have access to a machine shop. Sure would be nice if someone were to start selling those modified spaces. Wink

For $10.00 I will have a local machine shop cut mine for me but if none were available, I would mark the spacer and cut it with a dremel tool being very careful.  I have done it before on car parts.  The trick is being careful.
