Never seen that one here before. Though, I have a similar situation myself, somewhere... Pretty sure it's lawnmower related. I sweep up between jobs, and I looked down and saw a bearing yesterday. Dang near 1/4" diameter. No idea what it is from... I hope finding out isn't too costly.

Which one of your bikes is that from.....how many hundred thousand miles on it?

I have seen one other forum member with bad rear wheel/pulley bearings...he forgot/lost the spacer that goes behind the bearing in the pulley hub - so when he tightened the axle it created a huge axial load on the bearings....and they failed in a very short amount of time.

Someday I will be old......But not today!

I think my balls (bearing) are scattered across the Texas Hill Country.. I only noticed it because I heard a clicking noise when I was backing Thumper on to the porch for a "jack it up" washing.

Interesting.. the local bearing house costs more than Ron Ayers. I wonder if the stock bearing (that Ron Ayers sells) is NOT sealed? I certainly want a sealed one to replace it, as I do ride in some hostile environment at times.
Guess I should replace the bumpers as well. They may have taken a beating..

That's Thumper, 151k miles.
