Question: a thicker shim/spacer means more (or increases) play...? Right...?
Anybody have a generic part number for the grease seal? I know factory number is HD47519-83a, and the size of the seal is 45mm x 28mm x 10mm thick (at least that's the info I found surfing the web). Just was hoping to find one at the local shop.
Dealer does not stock them, and shows no interest in getting them either. Unless I want to pay 20 bucks each just for the seals. Might just have to order online, but would rather get them locally. YD
I'm willing to bet you can find them at an indy shop.
