Halls is a Gas Gas trials dealer as well, so parts isn't an issue.

Steve has done an excellent job on turning around parts for my '05 300 in a hurry and has had parts on hand when I need them.

Dude, the last thing I would be worrying about is paying retail when trying to find parts for a 1992 Contact 32. I would be ecstatic just to find them!

All that means is they have to sell you the parts at retail.Its an industry standard.
Point is, dont assume a dealer will sell you the parts for less. Even if they did have everything you needed?? As far as bearings and seals go.You can usually go to a large bearing and seal retailer, walk through the door kind of deal with your old bearings and seals and they will match them up. Dont worry about tatered seals with partial numbers.They will use calipers. We used Neely bearing out of Grants Pass for years, a small mom and pop bearing and seal shop and they had 80% of what we needed on the shelf for any bike we were working on at the time.We made alot of mods to where they suggested upgrades on bearings(usually a better bearing for less) and we would use wider bearings in some applications, or 2 skinnier bearing that would carry the load of one bearing. Especially in wheels where we would use wider bearings and shave the spacers down.That requires a skinnier seal.On big bore Hondas on the sprocket side we would run 2 bearings with no spacer no seal and just use a thin rubber washer and a thin steel washer over that. You can glue the rubber to the washer and with a tight fit and some grease, you are golden. We got a lot of hard miles out of the wheels we beefed up and never broke hubs. Find a bearing and seal shop. |

Forgot to mention that Steve charges you actual shipping costs and not a flat rate.
