I am looking for a bearing carrier for my 350x. And I was wondering which ones you guys have used and which ones you have had the best luck with.

On my '85 250R I have a Lone Star Racing billet carrier. I have not had any problems with it. RAD MFG also makes a nice line of aluminum carriers with grease fittings.

I just purchased a Rad carrier for my 350x (a double)-I'll let you know on the installations, etc in a cuople weeks-they do sell them on Ebay sometimes for cheap-there blems but you can hardly notice it in most cases.

stay away from the rad tapered setup. i bought one for my 250x and it was not set-up correctly.they did not set the bearing cups in far enough and the axle nut would not go on the bike. i called for replacement,and they did not honor their lifetime garantee.they wanted 75 bucks plus shipping for it to be fixed. i will never buy nothin from them again.i ended up sellin the thing on ebay(with the proper discription, i did not rip some one else off) i got 68 bucks for it. i never ran the thing and spent 229 bucks and only got 68 back.i was furious with rad for that.anytime i can warn some one of a bad experience i will. maybe they have changed them since then.that was like 5 years ago.but like i said,they lost me as a customer for good.
