2.5mm thick sleeve over axle?
 
Sounds like you need rear bearings for a GS700E. When I used a GSXR rear on my 700 I had to use my stock GS bearings in the GSXR wheel so I could use the smaller GS axle. Same od as the GSXR wheel and same id as the GS axle. Both the front and rear GSXR wheels use the same size bearing if I remember right. Have a bearing shop check the specs on the NSK 6303DU and the NSK 6303Z. One of those might be what you need. One has a steel seal and the has a rubbery seal. You might even find some place online to check the specs.
 
Wheel bearing listing

Wheel bearing listing

Dennis Kirk catalogs have bearing avail from all balls listed by bearing size.. I will check my catalog cd and see if that size is listed... also check with a local bearing supplier and see if they have your size in stock..
 
The steel 'seal' bearing is a shielded bearing. I worked at a hydraulic repair and reman shop and we would always get mix ups with those things. Ask for a sealed bearing, get a shielded. With how fast and hot these motorcycles get, I'd go for a viton sealed bearing, sealed both sides too, they'll come anyway you want. You can get them sealed with buna/nitrile or viton, a few might get teflon. P.S. Everytime I hear what people get charged for bearings on the street it kills me. Most of those things are cheap, yet people get charged an arm and a leg for them.
 
Pricey..

Pricey..

througgh the $uzuki shop they wanted about $15 a side.. dennis kirk had them for $10 a set.... for my GS550
