Ball bearings on the floor puzzle

[AMK]

Last Thursday I bought a bike to ride while I fix my other one. Both are 1100L's. I drove it home just fine and the battery died when i tried to start it to put away. It was then I decided to go through it waiting an R/R I ordered to arrive. Adjust valves, clean and sync carbs and some incidentals.
So I tore it down and every day for three days I kept finding little ball bearings on the floor with fresh grease on them and wondered what else the po didn't tell me about. I looked at the steering stem and the front wheel and all was good but it was really bugging me.
Yesterday I discovered that I had blown a swivel bearing on my roll around stool. I felt silly and relieved all at the same time, but mostly relieved.

Mine did the same thing. My next one won't come from Harbor Freight.

Stay focused and cut down on the swivelling

I'll not buy another from Harbor Freight because with these two bikes I don't see the swiveling slowing down. But that's par for the addiction

The HF unit needs a little reinforcement (a large washer) where the wheels attach. Mine also loosened. No bearings on the floor yet.

I am not complaining.... I definitely got my $19.00 worth!!
