    i disagree lunaticfringe chinese bearings are no match for usa/germany/italy/japan at 55mph bearing failure isnt a option /when our military uses them in a chopper then il use them/i go to any extreme to avoid the made in china.bearings thats me. you are a very smart man with buells i respect that.you helped me alot/ i think someone over tightened the front axle on my 08 firebolt thats the main reason for having the new spacer when the bearings come i do not want a surprise it was torqued over 40lbs maybe 55-60 the tire doesn,t spin like the lighting xb9s so this is a safety precaution .

    the derrogatory comment made towards ALL BALLS bearings and seals kits is what my comment was specifically addressing. in the past 30 years i have sold and installed approx. 700 sets of assorted ALL BALLS swingarm/steering head/wheel bearing kits. that's a total of approx. 1400 bearings accruing well over 1,000,000 miles of usage without a single warranty claim, failure, or customer complaint. if your opinion is based upon the fact that a top quality aftermarket motorcycle bearing must prove it's worth by also being used in military helicopters then i wish you well in your search. my opinion based on units sold, warranty claims and accrued mileage.

    I'll bet the Army doesn't source Commie Jesus Nuts for your choppers, just a thought.
