If you live in a big enough town with a proper 'bearing supplier', in my experience the bearings and seals from there can be 10x or more cheaper than going OEM. Nearly all bearings are standard items manufactured by a few suppliers. The OEM's get them from a middle man, then add on more profits so by the time you get them they've been through distributed + OEM.. just makes no sense unless you have to.moto367 wrote:Is there a big enough price difference from stock to go elsewhere?
