Inexpensive, Quality Wheel Bearing Vendor

If you are looking for a great deal on quality wheel bearings for your motorcycle, look no farther! While searching the internet I found the following website:

http://www.bearingresource.com/

My Zongshen Sierra 200GY-2 uses two 6201-2RS bearings in the front wheel. The rear wheel of my motorcycle uses two 6302-2RS bearings, and one 6202-2RS bearing. I found several vendors selling inexpensive, generic, deep groove bearings. However, I wanted to use quality bearings in my motorcycle. I found those quality bearings at Bearing Resource and Machine, Inc.

The 6302-2RS bearings I ordered are manufactured by SKF, one of the most respected names in the industry.

My price was $1.33 per bearing (the current price is $1.40 per bearing).

The 6202-2RS bearings I ordered are the EZO brand manufactured by Sapporo Precision Bearing. This is another respected, Japanese manufacturer.

My price was $1.30 per bearing.

The Bearing Resource website lists fairly high shipping charges. However, I suggest you contact this company by email, or give them a telephone call at 1-866-323-9966. They will gladly ship your bearings by UPS ground for a very reasonable charge. They are also very knowledgeable, and happy to answer your questions. I ordered eight SKF 6302-2RS bearings for $10.64, and eleven EZO 6202-2RS bearings for $14.30. The UPS ground shipping charge was $6.82. I placed my order on March 26, and the package was delivered on April 1. I highly recommend this vendor.

P.S. As an added bonus, I received a pleasant surprise when I opened my package. Included free with my order was a very nice T-shirt.



I have nothing else to add; the T-shirt says it all!
