aaronb, can you explain what you mean by "BTW DO NOT USE THE FACTORY BOTTOM SEAL...you will burn out your bearings..."? Also, you say the seals provided work perfect, but then you say keep the upper seal. Which upper seal are you suggesting is best - new with kit, or old factory seal...

motopete, I expect you are right - I know at least some of them have factories in China. My concern is with the unbranded or Chinese name branded stuff - they may be fine, but I've spent enough time with farm equipment to know that discount Chinese bearings often don't last as long as the name...

I'm asking about the All Balls kit because I don't want to buy the All Balls kit unless I know the bearings are made by a reputable manufacturer. All Balls does not make bearings, they just repackage and sell bearings made by someone else - same for Yamaha or any other vehicle manufacturer...

Can someone with one of these kits post all the numbers, codes, & manufacturer name from each bearing and seal. I'm really curious what brand they are, and with the numbers/codes I should be able to get them locally from my bearing supplier. Cheers, Curtis
