Help me identify this....

[2000400EX]

Ok fella's, here's the low down....

I needed new rear axle bearings for my '00 400EX, so I figured I'd replace the carrier with one that is grease-able. So after some research, I decided I wanted the one made by RAD Manufacturing. Then I searched Ebay and found this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4630053749&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:MT:11) one. Says it's made by RAD, but I never heard the "magnum" part before on RAD's website. So I decided to get it any way. Well I get it in the mail today and after looking it over, I'm wondering if this is just a "knock-off" of RAD's carrier or is it RAD's carrier? If it is a "knock-off", will it perform as good? Have any of you purchased this one before? This is a new area for me....I've never dealt with the rear axle bearings or carrier's before.

Here's some pics of it....let me know if I got "taken" on this or not...:(

want the good or the bad first?
Bad, it is not a read carrier, a rad would have RAD stamped where that one has Magnum stamped

good, it will work just fine. so far, i have not heard anything negative about Magnum products. they seem to be good quality. it will work just fine.

BTW, nowhere in teh ebay add does it say it is a RAD carrier, but actually says it is a magnum.

H-10 is the RAD part number. It looks exactly the same as my RAD carrier other than it says magnum. Even if it isn't RAD it looks like it was made by them. Maybe they made some for some company called magnum.

Yeah, it doesn't say it IS a RAD carrier, but it does say it was made by RAD. Here is a copy of the description...."MAGNUM TWIN ROW BEARING CARRIER MADE BY RAD MANUFACTURING FOR THE HONDA TRX400EX" Maybe RAD does make stuff for Magnum? Maybe I'll do some reaserch and find out.

Thanks for the input so far fella's. Anyone got anything else to add? Anyone got any experience with Magnum products?
