I have a classic bmw motorcycle that uses these insanely expensive mini tapered roller bearings for the paralever final drive. these are driveshaft bikes. no chains. in the late 80s they went from one pivot at the swingarm to dual pivots. one added at the final drive. these don't move very much and tend to eat up the bearings. some people think bmw motorcycles are really hard to work on and expensive. actually most parts are very reasonable and things cross over to most automotive parts. these bearings are not one of those parts. only made by FAG they're expensive and you need two.
so a company has made a bronze bushing kit with steel pins. they provide moly grease but from online searches I've read that moly isn't good with bronze.
I'd appreciate some insight so I can avoid another issue when installing these.
