My lonestar swingarm needs swingarm bearings. Does the lonestar swingarm use OEM Honda needle bearings or do they use needle bearings specific to Lonestar? I have used Pivotworks swingarm bearings in my stocker, but didn't know if they would work in my lonestar. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I believe the 86-87 are different than the 88-89 so depending on your year you may have to get a specific kit. Might not hurt to call LSR and ask too.

lsr said they were different When I Called them. So I ordered them. I didn't check compared to OEM but I did notice they are different inside as the needle bearing is two instead of one straight across. I haven't installed them yet I can get a little more specific tonight.

Excellent. Thanks for the responses guys. I will call and order today. Forgot to mention that I have an 88.

Just as an FYI. I ordered the 88-89 Pivot works swingarm bearing kit from ebay for $40. The bearings, spacer tube, dust seals and collars were correct for the Lonestar swingarm, but the spacers were not. They were too long. I could have machined them down, but my old ones were in good shape, so I used them. So you can buy just the bearings from Lonestar for $40+shipping or buy the Pivot works kit for $40 shipped and get the bearings, spacer tube and dust seals and caps.
