In my opinion Japanese Koyo bearings are the best you can get.I'm a bit confused as to which bearings you want,is it the endplate bearings,gearcluster needle roller bearing,or the rear hub bearing.

Simply go to a bearing dealer and choose your own bearings. All the gearbox needle roller cages will be INA and then you decide is you want SKF FAG NACHI etc.

Be aware I know of 1 dealer that claims to supply INA bearings in the kit but those supplied are totally different to an INA in a stamped sealed box.

Ive used Scootopia rear hub bearings in the last couple of builds, they seem pretty decent. By contrast the indian ones sold by AF are dire.

For the rear hub next time I'm going to use the LTH, that way you can fit a standard sized quality bearing in the back end.

Yes I've found a used hub bearing that is in two parts so you can put for example a standard SKF bearing in this outer carrier, neat idea but overall the actual bearing is quite a bit smaller.

I found the housing material very soft so beware.
