    ...and the fun part is...

    I already pulled and junked them, thinking I could simply order new ones.

    Any other ideas? I thought about calling Service Honda, but I'm guessing they'd just say that they don't carry them...

    Ok, here is how it usually works . If it has bearings and they are factory and are not shown on the parts fiche which they definitely are not, they are NOT sold separately, therefore, you must buy the cover to get the OEM ones . The reason I know this is because I was not only a parts manager at 2 different Honda motorcycle shops in the 70's, I also worked for Kawasaki motors.

    Also, the id of the seal size is 12mm . This typically means that if the od of the shaft the seal goes on is the same size (in this case it is your clutch actuator arm) from top to bottom, the id of the bearing is actually 12mm, not 11 . This means that if you calipers are measuring this dimension inaccurately, it is also measuring all dimensions inaccurately.

    As mentioned, once you get the correct measurement, you can likely get one from a bearing supply store . If you can't find the exact length, one that is a few mm shorter will also work fine . A slightly longer one will also work if you have clearance for the additional length.

    I've got a few bearing supply places near me, I wonder if I just took the cover and the shaft in with me if they could figure out what I need...

    Never know until you try but I know that some of them in my area could figure it out and some others don't have the ability to and only sell what people ask for.

    I replaced the top one, but the bottom one is not EZ to remove. typically unless your getting grinding, you leave them alone as all they do is help guide the shifter lever. some people replace them with a custom bushing. I have done this on many motors of many different types. the really important thing is the seal at the top. make sure you replace that seal.
    the bearings, you can get the top one out and get the #s off and order them from online.

    Already trashed 'em, thinking I could just order them from Service Honda (whoops!). Didn't want to leave them, though I agree that they probably wouldn't have been abused, because of the sandblasting part of the powder coating process. Had I known...

    We have a winner! Today I installed two bearings, part #HK1210 and they work! Threw them in the freezer for a bit, then drove 'em home!

    Trial and error at two different parts houses until I found a match.
