Those that have used allballs wheel bearings

[snrusnak]

I am about to change my wheel bearings. The allballs packages came with a separate set of black seals, I assume these just do not get used on our buell's?

Can anyone confirm?

TIA

 

[RamAirZ]

yup not used, they fit a few different models and some use the seals too

snrusnak, which ones are you getting? i'm gonna change mine, do you have the part # & where are you getting them? Thanks[up]

 

[snrusnak]

All balls part numbers:

Front 25-1351
Rear 25-1627

I bought them from member I think lunaticfringe. I don't remember for sure if that's him cause I email him now but I'm pretty sure it's lunaticfringe. His name is John.

I'll post pics in a few...I got them in.

Are the all balls a better alternative, or a cheaper alternative? Or both?

 

[RamAirZ]

both I think

 

[snrusnak]

I say both as well. They are rather inexpensive, but I don't think they are poor quality. I've seen a lot of people use them and have not seen any complaints.

[up] I just installed factory bearings. I was buying a bunch of other parts from HD and didn't even think about all balls.

 

[snrusnak]

One thing I noticed is the manual says to install the bearings with the numbers/markings facing outward, but the allballs bearings had the same markings on both sides. So I just installed them however. I hope that's fine...

Can anyone confirm this is ok? Before I put the wheels on the bike.

 

[RamAirZ]

They were identical (shape/size) on both sides and the ones I pulled out had the same numbers on each side so I put them in however

I have all balls bearing but before i could install them on my bike i was ran over. So i still have a new set for the CR then.

Yeah that's what I observed as well. Hope it's ok. I thought you hadn't done your wheel bearings yet ramairz???

Damn loki that sucks!!!

 

[RamAirZ]

I did them today Wife decided she didn't want to paint my daughters room today so that gave me some free time lol. I did the brake pads and painted the calipers while I had everything apart lol.

 

[snrusnak]

Cool looks good.

 

[RamAirZ]

Thanks, I'll let ya know how she rides with the bearings Tuesday unless you get yours together before then. Wheel spins nice and quiet so hoping she goes good

 

[snrusnak]

haha yeah no mine won't be done until nearly february. Waiting on some parts to come in...

 

[RamAirZ]

ah gotcha well then I'll let ya know! When are we doing that Orlando meet? Sometime in February?

 

[snrusnak]

I was wanting my bike together by now but still waiting on parts so I won't be riding in the next couple weeks. There's going to be a central florida buell get together in february. That'll likely be the first ride for me after getting it together.

 

[RamAirZ]

ok I'll probably come down for that one
