Title: 1974 250cc Hare Scrambler - Hub & Shocks
Post by: DataPlace on January 24, 2010, 04:19:38 PM
Front wheel hub - I found cracks in the magnesium on the front wheel hub. These run axially (approx 2"); start at the top (where the brake drum seal runs) where the steel sleeve and magnesium join. They appear to be from possible torque on the bearing sleeve that has been pressed in by the manufacturer. I would not assume this is typical..? If not, where can I find a replacement hub please?

As a second topic where can I find rear shocks (brand?)that are suitable for competitive riding and/or dual sport?

Thank you, DataPlace

DataPlace  I use Progressive Suspension shocks, google "onestopmoto" (Dan) and order them.  Around $200 with springs and won't break the bank!
