I haven't had my '90 for long but I thought they had tapered bearings stock - am I wrong?? If so this is a nice upgrade, did it to my 550. Good either way really as they do wear out over time.

 

Not sure about the later models but early Mk1s were ball bearing . Even as replacements for a bike that has tapers already it's a very cheap price.
