Hi Terry
I understand what you mean by a radius or lead-in on the cam bearing, but to my eyes there was nothing like this. If you look at my third picture above, there was simply no way to get the rollers in or out that we could see. On one cam we have there is a notch filed in the bearing walls / guide on the cam to allow the rollers to be removed or installed. Nothing like this on this cam. The outer ring hits the edge of the lobes adjacent the bearing about half way along the length of the rollers. no chamfer or anything on either side of the outer or inner rings.
I was merely curious about it, we could see no way to remove or replace this bearing or rollers. Its a moot point now as its safely tucked into the crankcase of the green single seater and boy does it deliver the good with a wallop. The night we tested it around Gino's complex there was a bit of dew and the brick paving was damp with a bit of moss between the bricks so I could hang the tail out at every corner once it was on cam.
Cheers
