Anything related to Lambrettas... ask tech questions, post helpful info, or just read and learn.

Slowly over the course of this year getting a few bits together ready for the winter overhaul - full engine strip down. Anyway, always used FAG/SKF bearings , came across these on the interwebs

Just after some feedback really, not so much the shop (although that would be good) but the bearings, primarily the Koyo ones ( INA I'm happy enough with) as have never used them. Will be going in a GT200 big block kit, any feed back appreciated about the quality/longevity of the bearings.
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

The shop has good feedback for supplying gts parts especially service kits , im not sure the rear hub bearing is included in that kit altho it says it is
