Have you checked your wheel bearings recently?
They should be replaced every few years at best or more often if you ride in the wet as we do here on the West Coast. Check your side play occasionally to detect potential failures early enough.
If you are looking for the ultimate reliability before a long trip or simply pushing your bike through hell and finding the OEM quality bearing does not last long enough, this kit is for you.
Our high-performance kit uses much better-quality bearings than the OEM or any aftermarket kit, such as All Balls or Moose Racing.
We use high-precision bearings from the Japanese brand Nachi or European brand SKF (same as high-quality manufacturers like FAG, KOYO, etc.) with advanced seal design providing constant smooth operation and long service life.
- Rings and balls made of select material have superbly controlled accuracies such as roundness, contour, surface finish, and hardness to provide quieter operation, reduced vibration levels, and long life.
- Rivet-type pressed steel cages for strength and durability.
- High-performance grease for long life and low noise.
The combination of a unique lip design and seal groove provides a labyrinth and steady seal contact. They are, of course, sealed on both sides, unlike the OEM. The kit also contains a new dust seal to do a full rebuild and start 100% fresh.

Dust seal options explained:
- If you run the original speedometer with the gearbox assembly on the hub, choose the option "OEM Speedo gearbox." Only one seal is needed.
- If you run our speedo gearbox delete spacer, choose the option "BP speedo delete spacer." Two seals are needed.
Make sure you choose the correct option in the drop-down menu so we can supply you with one or two dust seals.
