<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Has anyone, especially someone who is sponsored by OS,
talked to them about the rear bearing problems with the OS 1.40? Is
there anything they can or will do? Is O.S. working on a solution?

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wayne: I have run .61's,with both seals
in, and only one seal in,and it made no difference.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suspect it would be the same with the 1.40,
BUT if a seal should let go,it would be hard on the piston/cylinder
