Dennis, thanks.

I take it that by problem bearing you mean any number of difficulties
and it warrants a bearing change. Can do. Not a difficult task on the
fronts, just a pita to have to doe it. The bearings on this machine were
replaced a relative short time ago - last year. BUT - the first one out
of the box was bad. After the change - first drive down the road and the
bearing growled like crazy. Brand new bearings and race. That was a
first timer for me. Got another bearing w/race and the problem was
solved. These bearings were made in England, if that means anything. I'm
going to try and make sure I get good German made ones next time around.
