I'm in the middle of rebuilding my 450r and was wonder if anyone had any input on the taper type front wheel bearing kits. I was looking at getting a kit but wanted to know if they were worth the extra cash compared to the stock ball type.

its up to you, the taper will last longer and you can repack them, but the normal bearings last well over a season anyway so i could never justify the cost
