Author Message   Iamarchangel Posted on Monday, August 06, 2012 - 09:45 pm:        Looks like I'm going bearing shopping tomorrow. Can somebody please confirm the right bearing size for the rear wheel. This was posted on another thread: Rear P/N Koyo 6006.2RSC3   Boogiman1981 Posted on Monday, August 06, 2012 - 10:07 pm:        6006 is right   Iamarchangel Posted on Tuesday, August 07, 2012 - 12:07 am:        Any difference in quality between Koyo and SKF?   Jbarron Posted on Tuesday, August 07, 2012 - 09:03 am:        These work great http://www.ebay.com/itm/390434663976?ssPageName=ST RK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1408wt_10 43   Tbowdre Posted on Tuesday, August 07, 2012 - 11:26 am:        Has anyone "upgraded" their rear bearings? Ceramic? Im due for tires and think after 20,000 miles Ill replace the bearings as well (Message edited by tbowdre on August 07, 2012)   Nuts4mc Posted on Tuesday, August 07, 2012 - 11:35 am:        Jaws...here ya go...(ceramic - scroll down) http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/395448.html   Crowley Posted on Tuesday, August 07, 2012 - 12:30 pm:        Be very careful about buying 'SKF' bearings off the Internet. In the UK, there are some very good looking copies and the packaging is identical, however, the quality is nowhere near as good as the genuine ones.   Tbowdre Posted on Tuesday, August 07, 2012 - 04:33 pm:        Thanks for the link.... looks like SKF is the go   Iamarchangel Posted on Tuesday, August 07, 2012 - 05:58 pm:        Thanks, bought FAG at $20 each. They had KBC for about $11 but I just kept thinking of the sudden surprise of bearing failure.   Froggy Posted on Tuesday, August 07, 2012 - 06:06 pm:        Funny thing, the original bearings your 03 had were FAGs and they were recalled. My first hand experience says bearing failure is not an issue with the bearing manufacturer, I'm pretty sure I've had all the major brands fail at one point or another.
