I don't understand what I am seeing in post 1. You are saying that bearing is item 12. It's just odd looking with that wear on OD. If your are loosing the needle bearings, I would immange your input shaft is worn out.
Guess that is a thin shell with rolled edges but that looks like the inner primary bearing race.

Those bearings have to both be installed to a very specific depth inside that gear, which varies from one end to the other. They make a special gauge for inserting them to the correct depth. Maybe that is the problem.

It is the two needle bearings that go into the 5th gear on the counter shaft. As I understand it.

I have been seriously considering doing just that, I have wanted to do it since I found out about the Baker 6 speed. My only hesitation is I just paid off all my credit card debt and this would put me right back into debt, not as much as I paid off but it is the first step. I haven't even had enough time to enjoy being debt free yet. I am thankful everyday for what I have and what I am able to afford. Damn the Decisions, LOL!

So I bit the bullet so to speak and will have a new Baker 6 speed installed some time next week. Have wanted to do this since I got the bike, just didn't plan on it this soon.
