Could someone measure a used pillow ball for me?
I'll measure the ones I have for you tonight if I get a chance but it's very unlikely you'll be able to find an off-the-shelf spherical bearing to replace yours. They have a shoulder on them which off the shelf parts wouldn't have. Also, the stock parts seem to be housed in nylon, which is why they wear out relatively quickly but it also makes them a little more comfortable and quiet on the street.
Pillowball dimensions - all dimensions are in mm and they were measured from an old used pillowball I had lying around. They should mostly be good to +/- .05mm or so, the diameters are pretty good but some of the lengths were hard to measure accurately. I'm willing to bet the original OD was 38mm.

It'd cost about the same as what I get them for at mazdamotosports anyways. I was just hoping to find some that could be used with a grease fitting.
Thanks
