about bearings

[kostas]

I need someone to confirm that the front wheel bearings for AR are 17x35x10 (6003) and top and bottom head bearings are 26x47x15 (32005x/26).Does anybody know dimensions of front wheel seals and head top and bottom seals?I dont want to buy them from honda dealer,i think they are overprized!

Hi Kostas
I did replace my front whel bearings, but was remiss in not taking a note of the bearing nb , i believe one was a 6202, but the safest plan is to knock old your old bearings and replace with same nb , ditto with the seals as well , that should carry a size and width , or measure them yourself ,you may wish to try these people for new bearings .

by the way some of those really cheap bearings on ebay can be a false economy , as they don't last ,and whilst mr H s bearings may be dearer they will probably last longer, but i don't know what mark up your dealers putting on spares.
Can't help on the steering stem bearings , i haven't had to change mine yet !!! however , when the time comes i might investigate some roller bearings , as opposed to ball bearings.Regards Mike
