I am looking to get replacement bearings for front and rear. MotoSuperstore and a few other online retailers have "All *****" brand bearings for both front and rear its about half the price of the OEM ones ($48 vs 76) and I know I will get them in 3 days if I order from MSS. I read many good reviews but there were two or three people who said they had them seize up and ended causing damage to the bike. Also if I order the OEM ones will I have to buy the dust sealers as well if Im using CheapCycelParts or can I just use the ones my bike has now?

Should I take the It wont happen to me approach? Has anyone else bought these?

 

I prefer genuine Honda parts bearings b/c I know they are going to work *every* time. To me, at least w/ these, its worth the extra cost for the Honda part. Yes, get new dust seals.

RE: All ***** All ***** Racing... Those that I know who have used 'em, haven't had any probs. YMMV.

 

I purchased my AllBalls from eBay at a cheaper rate than MSS. Make sure you pack them with as much grease possible before installing. Haven't had issues so far. Supposedly the tapered AllBalls bearings are supposed to last longer than the OEM Honda bearings.

As gotcbr stated..if you go the OEM route, get the dust seals too. You essentially break the old ones when you take them out. AllBalls kit comes with the seal too.
