    Hi Guy's,
    If I go to my local bearing house with my old bearings and seals do I need to know anything else?
    Is there a specific bearing rating? What material are the seals made of?
    I don't want to buy the cheapest stuff he's got, but why spend more than you have to.
    Thanks for any help,
    Ron

    That's how I get mine. Just drop off my old parts with Johnny and he take care of the rest and calls me later that day for pick up. Been doing it that way for years.

    Down here in South Carolina we have a company called Bearing Distributors. They supplied all the bearings for a 79 390, SKF's and some NTN's. I saved a ton of cash. As long as they're not made in Turkey, Korea, China or similar you should be OK.:)

    ... I'd like to go this route on my 08 TXC Husky ... The bearing kits cost a small fortune for the bike ....
