Hi, no one answered you so I thought I'd ask, what is a high performance swing arm bearing? I assume you mean the pivot??

I can't see anything better than a needle bearing with a thrust bearing or thrust washer for side loads,

That's why I suggest people do it the OEM way and not use Delrin or UHMW. Both work great but there is whats called "stiction" which plastic can cause. A proper maintained needle bearing and pivot sleeve are about the best way to keep it solid IMHO.

I think he's saying he needs pivot bearings for a swingarm on a RD conversion from High Performance.

It would be helpful to have at least one picture or some measurements. Pretty sure there were lots of options for those custom built trikes.

Hi, first thanks for the response, but no not pivot bearing but the axle bearing, i can try and post pics next week. There is a thread on here somewhere of a guy was removing them, if i can find it maybe I can copy it.

Their probably just the std bearing used on most smaller atcs which is the
6007rs or here is the size 35x62x14 . Measure yours when you pull one out or look for the number on the side of the bearing .

I may be wrong, but I think the tapered bearings are probably about the best. The down side is that you need to replace your carrier with one made for them. All of this comes from memory which is rusty. As for brands I can't remember what the name might be. It almost seems like it might come from RPM.
