Pulling my wheels off my 95 s2 and the rear drive bearing is spun. No damage visible, but I can spin it with my finger. Looking on ebay I found a front and rear brand new PM set for s1,s3,m2. Can that fit my s2? Shane |

Shane, yes they will fit. I have been looking at the same set. Go ahead and get them I think they have more. Frank |

I already bought them Frank. Can't beat the price, that is close to half retail I believe. Plus free shipping. It is a Harley dealer selling them. I know there are ways to repair a spun bearing, I just don't have the resources available to do it in a timely fashion. Do you know if the bearings are the same or will I need to change them? I think also I will have to drill a small hole for the speedometer drive. I jumped on the deal knowing I could always use them as trading stock, or put them on my wifes s3 and sell her castalloys. Anyway, glad to hear they will fit, I could ride a different bike to the roundup but that sort of defeats the purpose. And hey- have a good safe ride back to the homecoming. Shane |

Well I found an old post from Jim in Santa Barbara where he had to replace the wheel on his s2 and used an s3 castalloy with no problem, so it's looking like a go. I know the pm's were a $500 option when the bikes were new, but list price on them now is $679 for just the rear wheel. I would actually prefer a set of white alloy wheels, I like the way they go with the frame, but these will do for now. Shane |

Shame, I assume those wheel come with bearings but check them out to make sure they are ok. I few people on this site bought them so maybe they will comment. The bearings for the PM wheels and cast wheels are different. I get mine from American Sport Bike. I hope they have more of those wheels. I have been putting it off too long. They will be for my 98 S1W. Frank |
