Push to bearings out... Clean it up.... Put a cleaned up old bearing or just the outer sleeve back in there and tig weld the aluminum up.
Press the old bearing or sleeve out...
Now your ready for new bearings and seals...  8-)

The only concern I have is that I may have removed too much material from the center section...
Since this is Rev 2..... I have already started Rev 3  8-)
But I fully intend to finish Rev 2 and let Sean destroy it...
Then he can slip on Rev 3 and really smile...

Update:
We have been really busy with several aspects of this build.
It is amazing how much work goes into organizing who is doing what and shipping parts all over the place.
Vendors, sponsors, and builders.... it is really amazing...
Not only that but we have also been busy rebuilding Sean's current bike.
No details as of yet to release but don't worry, there is a full write up coming...  8-)

I think this would be a great place for more heat sinks...

This is my buddy Tommy Roberts.  Tommy is my age and was 18 years old in 1996 when Kawasaki Team Green signed him to the factory contract and the KX500 that was supposed to be Danny Hamel's.  Tommy and Danny were very close and I could think of nobody better to get that ride.  Well Tommy came over today and hung out with me.  Since Tommy was one of the fastest and best at changing BIB Moose tubes I gave him a little project.  Thanks Tommy for mounting new rubber on Sean's bike for me.

I once heard my buddy Bill ask Danny Hamel after a race....
"How can someone who looks like a high school band tuba player go so d**n fast on a bike?!"

After lapping, Jason is making sure that there are no visible gaps in the cases...

not sure if it's my computer, but I'm not seeing the pic....just a tiny black square with an "x" inside it...like the link didn't take.
I can see every other pic in this thread, just not this one.
