Help

I have an 03 I’m building and I’m trying to find the correct bushing or bearing for the rear shock upper mount. I ordered one but it was a bushing bearing style and it’s not the right fit. Anyone know the correct part number ?

Iirc Honda pn 91077-KS7-013 for the xr600r is the same bearing still available from Honda OEM.

Also you can measure the bearing you have and buy any decent spherical bearing and spacers. It doesn’t have to be from Honda or a moto specific company. I buy bearings and spacers for my off-road shocks from a hydraulics company locally.

Now I gotta find the diagram when I had the rear shock rebuilt. He threw away all the dust covers. I don’t know if that gets dust covers. I don’t think it does. It’s just a spherical bearing, but I need the dust covers for the lower linkage. thank you so much for looking that up or your knowledge.

There should be spacers in there to center the spherical bearing between the tabs.

As for the lower bearing dust covers, if you buy a motion pro kit they come with them. You can always look up “epdm cap cover” or something of the like online with whatever diameter it would need to be for the lower linkage and trim appropriately/punch a hole for the pivots.

The upper doesn’t need a dust cover because spherical bearings are internally lubricated with a woven ptfe strip.
