Where did you guys go to get wheel bearings for your bike? I know the fronts are easy to get and are cheap (99 750), but the rears are $25 a piece at a couple local bearing shops. Is this what everyone pays for them, cause this seems kind of high considering I think I can get the fronts for like $6. Should I go to the dealer or is there somewhere I can order them for more reasonably. BTW I want the double sealed bearings, not the single sealed stock style ones.

Anyone have any experience replacing these or what? Got my wheels powdercoated, and was thinking about repacking and reusing the old bearings, otherwise It'll be $100 just in bearings that weren't damaged in the first place taking them out.

that is something i have not done on either bike yet, i have only replaced headstem bearings with set of tapered roller bearings which cost around $25US

Just took everything out and repacked my old ones. For a good base price on OEM stuff I go here Bike Bandit (http://www.bikebandit.com/PartsBandit/) click OEM, then your bike. Type in the stock # and you get a price. I've never purchased anything from him, but he is cheaper than all the dealerships here in Washington. Good to wheel and deal around those prices. Ron Ayers Motorsports is another good place for OEM stuff.
