I think most people are buying All ***** brand swing arm bearings... most bigger ATV parts distributors carry that brand, & they seem to be a better quality than the stock ones... lots of guy's are also using frost plugs or Honda backing plates to make them more water resistant, when they redo them...

check out NYROC's tips or KISSOFDEATHS websites for more on the bearing replacements & backing plates...

Try matching them up with aftermarket bearings like Timken. Buy the sealed kind. However, if you get the sealed kind, pop the seal carefully with a jewelers screwdriver and put in a high grade grease, then replace the seal. Use new dust seals each time you repack/change the bearings also. This doubled the life on bearings.
If you clean and repack the bearings once a year, the life will be greatly extended.
