    OEM or All Balls mostly for me;

    1981 GS550L - My Eldest Daughter's - Now Sold
    2007 GSF1250SA Bandit - My touring bike

      OEM lasts nearly forever. All balls is cheap in price when compared to OEM and come as a set and don't have the back order hassle. I've used a few sets of all balls over the years and have been happy.

        OEM is Koyo.
        I've always tried to replace them with Koyo, and the only time I've had bearings wear out faster than I thought right, they weren't Koyo.
        Good bearings are so cheap, it's not worth trying to save a buck.
