| I have a 2004 honda vtx 1300c with 14,483 miles on it. i checked the bearings in rear wheel as i was putting a new tire on. the bearings are so bad it very hard to turn them by hand. i'm 51 years old and put over 300,000 miles on bikes. i've never seen anything like this in such a short time. i've been told that honda will not correct this problem so i will try to find better bearings to replace the stock ones that failed. *tr | |||

| Rear flange bearing in final drive on 2004 honda vtx 1300 motorcycle. this bearing basically came apart in the rear end, and was discovered by a local tire seller. if i had continued to ride, it could have locked up the rear end, resulting in a very bad accident. *jb | |||
