I figure this is a good community question to ask because I don't have any real world data and I'm curious about our members opinions since we have a breathtaking amount of knowledge & skill here that spans a large number of industries.
I can get real SKF bearings from a real Authorized Distributor at decent to very good prices because I approached them as a business. What kind of markup do think is appropriate for a SKF bearing that is exactly like OEM (but better quality) and works exactly like it should. The make application in question is partly a secret, but please keep in mind the bearings from the company have been NLA for over 30 years because it folded and there is big customer base. ^ Also applies to NLA Porsche 914/6 & 914 NLA steering bearings. I can tell you this is for crankshafts, gearboxs (transmissions) and wheels. Then soon to steering and shocks. |

I'll come a bit clean on what this for. A very popular vintage/antique motorcycle line that are upwards of thousands and thousands of bikes left in this country. This doesn't count Canada/Mexico. Britain/Europe/Australia. No one stocks or specifically stocks any kind of bearings for these bikes (not mention other parts).
The only competition I found is someone selling not-Chinese-probably-India bearings for vintage/antique British bikes who claims those size bearings will fit what I'm looking at. We all know how that works. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) The reality is I have many people asking me to stock bearings for the companion make motorcycle too which has the same # of bikes more or less left in this country. Chinese bearings work oh so well in an 2-stroke engine that makes 40hp. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Speaking to what a lot of you have said, yes if I have the parts books/sizes/locations of bearings/ I could supply about almost anything that uses metric bearings in SKF/FAG/ORS/NTN etc. Yes, I know what my margin I've just never dabbled in bearings hence my question. BTW? The bikes are worth a lot of $$$$. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
