So before I bought the new bearings for the swingarm and for the neck I went online and looked for the same bearings and found a slew of different prices. After a bit of looking I found these at Auto Zone same Timken bearings and races even comes with two seals and grease for get this $21.00 for a pair of each. Auto Zone part number BT100 . The seals are too thick but whatever still cheaper. Figured I would share the info.

Yes and Yes. Same thing for both. I am looking for cheaper seals. These are genuine Timken as come stock.

Thanks for the info I'm about to replace both te neck and swingarm bearings myself. So the seals that come with them are too thick to use?

Thanks,
Spencer

Yes they are too thick about double. I haven't checked them out completely just saw they were thick. I got new ones coming with the new wheel bearings so I wasn't going to mess with them. But these bearings are half price so I got those instead.

if you will contact a local hardware store you can probably find them cheaper than that

Now its been about a year or so, but I feel I got the swingarm bearings for about 14 bucks
just using the bearing part#, called and they had them in stock
Bough bearings and races for next to nothing.

My understanding is even Timken under 4" diameter are made in China for the last several years. I had the guy at the bearing shop dig around at the back of the bin, and he found perhaps his last set of made in USA.
