you will have to remove the carrier to tell, it can be a single bearing, dual row or tapered. A single row will be ~13mm, dual row ~20mm and if its tapered it will be in a cone shape and have a cup tapered cup inside of the carrier. You more than likely have a dual row carrier, I don't think any of the aftermarkets sell a single row carrier, its either dual row or tapered. Yes, most of the dual row bearings are the same for alot of bikes.

Single row bearing carrier same as stock. Some kits come with the center crush tube which is a plus.

if its 1/2" max, thats almost equal to 13mm and that would be a single row bearing(stock).

Thats a dual row carrier. Same as stock except it has four bearings. Same size as stock on the bearings and seals.
