swingarm bearings by the engine or are you talking about axle bearings?

Personally I use OEM Honda bearings, but I've had good luck with the all balls products.

I meant swing arm bearings with the big bolt that goes through the motor etc. , I already have a rad carrier for the axle.

Ok I thought so, but wasn't sure cause a lot of people say swingarm bearings and mean carrier bearings. Do you know the last time the bolt was out of there, if at all? That is probably going to be your biggest concern out of everything! I'd say try and get that sucker out first cause it will be the MOST complicated part of this project.

Ok well thats good, so then I would get the honda bearings or all balls personally. Honda is probably a little more but I find that they last the longest as well.
