Bigend needle cage bearing. We use 1 needle (roller) more then stock. In stead off 17 we use 18 rollers. Also the rollers we use reach 30% more surface. The short roller is the stock version the longer roller is our version. The roller cage is made of very nice bronze material. We try to solve a very old problem that is causing a lot of problems with the cranck pins on a Buell and Sportster. | ||

Twin Motorcycles is developing a new roller cage for the big end pin. We do a lot of engine rebuilds and we see that we needed to make a better version. We also develop a new big end pin. We use in our cage 1 roller more then the stock or any after market cage. In stead off 17 we use 18 rollers. Also the rollers we use reach 30% more surface. The short roller in the picture is the stock version the longer roller is our version. The roller cage is made of very nice bronze material. We try to solve a very old problem that is causing a lot of problems with the cranck pins on a Buell and Sportster to get better and stronger cages and a better oil transport on the big end pin.   | ||

Looks good! Keep us posted on your progress. | ||

Easyrider, is that designed to fit inside the stock races on the connecting rod? Is the pin a little smaller than stock to allow for the bigger bearings? Just curious. Mine is torn down to the pin right now waiting for me to get my butt in gear and either do it or take it somewhere. I'm very interested in the progress and will be keeping tabs on this thread. Thanks for the post! Michael | ||

Will it fit the X1 2000 with the pressed in crank pin ? | ||
| Easyrider |
Yes Alfau it will: Twin Motorcycles is developing a new model big end bearing cage, and replacement big end pin for pressed flywheels ( 1,25 " ) For all Buell and Sportster models with 1,25" crankpin ( bolted or pressed ) Developed for maximal roller use and a tight fitting rol in compairement to the old situtation where the bearing rol can move around to much in the cage. Because the new design off the cage we manage to house 1 rol more in the cage the new rollers are also as longer as the stock roller, there by giving more bearing surface and so reducing the surface destortion from the crank pin, making it last longer. As always with a repair like this, the outer rod races should be checked for ware , replaced and made to size In stead off 17 we use 18 rollers. Also the rollers we use reach 30% more surface. The short roller in the picture is the stock version the longer roller is our new version. The roller cage is made of very nice bronze material. | ||
