Alpha Big End Bearings

423-Series



Alpha is the world's foremost manufacturer of crankpin bearing assemblies for single cylinder British bikes made with one piece connecting rods and built up cranks. Alpha crankpin assemblies will replace original roller bearing assemblies, or upgrade plain bearing Royal Enfields and Tiger Cubs to roller style.

An Alpha "drop in" roller bearing conversion for unit BSA singles that were originally equipped with RH bushings is also stocked by BCS under part number 40-0391/A

Alpha big end bearings are factory dipped in oil, then in a plastic sealing coat, to eliminate corrosion and possible damage during storage and shipping. Buying a matched, fresh, complete Alpha assembly is better than searching the world for individual shop-soiled New Old Stock race, crankpin, cage and rollers, usually paying more and getting less.

Carrillo heavy duty connecting rods are the ideal upgrade to the stock rods, and the perfect time to install them is when replacing the crankpin bearing. Contact BCS with the part # for the stock conrod for current availability and price of the Carrillo rod, and forget about breaking a rod, ever!
