whats better ?, or is "All Balls" an ok replacement for the front wheel bearings?, all balls are $15.95 for a kit, bearings and covers, OEM are $54.00 and some change, I know you should go with OEM parts but its like a $39.00 savings, if there compatiple and good enough can I save some money???. Whats every bodys experience with "All Balls" are they good enough ???

I've never heard of them before.

I wonder why they would be so cheap, then again almost all original equipment parts are overpriced in my opinion.

Ya thats what got me was the huge diff in price, if it were only a couple o bucks 10 or 15, I'de say no prob, got my local kawi shop ordering for me, suposed to be here on wed's, just in case it turned out to be good deal, i'de have em already on the way, this way i'de save on the shipping cuz on-line at " Bike Bandit" they wanted same price $15.95 + what ever on shiping, hope I did OK by jumpin the gun

I doubt they make the bearings -- prolly skf or some other company manufactures them. When you get them in post up what's stamped on the bearing.
