Where to get wheel bearings and seals

[dipper]

Looking for cheapest source of wheel bearings and seals for both a 'storm and blade

Quality pattern parts will be fine

Any suggestions

Last time I replaced some (they don't get done all that often) I got a full set of front and rear bearings and seals for £34.49 from David Silver. Genuine Honda ones, including 1st class delivery and VAT.

IIRC I didnt find them any cheaper anywhere and even pattern parts where similar money, and in some cases, more expensive.

When replacing my bearings and seals, I opted to do so with C3 type bearings (looser tolerance, higher speed bearings) with low-friction seals. A chap who grass dragged snowmobiles informed me that making the switch on his race sleds dropped friction losses substantially so I thought if it works on a snowmobile.... Anyhow, that was two summers ago (and over 20,000 kms) and all is well. Just something to think about (and any reputable bearing shop should be able to set you up; total cost for the five bearings was $50 CAN). As for the seals, I used OEM stuff.

cheers

Busters and M&P sell pattern ones. Had some rears a couple of years ago, but they aren't as enclosed as the genuine Honda ones which aren't overly expensive anyway. I bought tapered head bearings from M&P and they are much better than the stock ones.

I looked on wemoto, they were a fiver dearer than David Silver for a full front and rear set.
